Narrative:
Taxing on echo. When I got to bravo there was a twin to my left and ground control told the twin to give way to me. Ground told me to taxi to 12 right at echo and I taxied forward directly onto the active runway resulting in a runway incursion. I have many hours logged on this airport and did much of my flight training here I'm not sure if I was distracted by the twin, but I am familiar with operations and hold short lines on the airport. One thing that I feel contributed to the incursion was a very faded hold short line at echo. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter claims that the new airport manager has sent out a letter to airport users apologizing for the condition of the field. He said there is no funding available for signage or painting of airport markings. The reporter also claims he was told that the tower controllers are frustrated with the rundown condition of the airport and that it has a high incidence of runway incursions.
