Comments
Im not in favor of highier taxes. BUT I would be ok with paying a few cents more in gas tax (No more then .10) to help pay for further transportation work on ROADS!!!!! Not trains, buses, etc. ROADS. Stop asking drivers to pay for EVERYTHING someone with a wild hair comes up with. Along with the highier tax we need a lock box on transportation funds because the trans budget has been raided several times befor and would have plenty of money right now had they not spent it on other BS.
