Federal spending bill protects Southwest Washington priorities,
withholds funding from troubled CRC project” - Congresswoman Jaime
Herrera Beutler
This announcement, released this afternoon, effectively kills the Oregon Only CRC Light Rail Tolling project.
“The CRC continues to be plagued with design and financing flaws and
does not qualify for federal funding. This bill preserves the funding
qualifications standards for federal projects, and the CRC does not meet
those standards. I’ll continue to advocate for a better I-5 bridge
replacement project that actually meets the requirements and has the
support of our community.”

Wherever you got this from is anti-transit as "CRC Light Rail Tolling project" doesn't make any sense. The tolling is not on the light rail, and the name is intended to obscure the big part of the plan which is to build a large new highway bridge and stretch of freeway.
Look, it's Oregon's intransigence on this project that killed. The blame is squarely on Kitzhaber and his cronies
