Sorry, but roads and bridges are a primary state/county responsibility and should be served out of the general fund, not a dozen or more intrusive little revenue streams that don't even go where they are supposed to go. jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061582353562134652.post-51544257899853306922019-05-07T13:26:39.318-07:002019-05-07T13:26:39.318-07:00Or...each GPS would come from a class of vehicle. ...Or...each GPS would come from a class of vehicle.

But how do you distinguish between a motorhome that gets 4 mpg and does more damage to the roads than that little Fiesta that gets 35? How about this for simple. Roads and bridges are a priority, right? So why not fund what is necessary out of the general fund, and quit pretending that the gas tax and all of those other silly taxes go into some special "pot" for funding the roads? jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.com
