Personally,I'd rather see the gas tax dropped and use toll roads for the bulk of project funding. It's absurd when they spend a few million paving streetsthatdont need it so they don't lose the recurring amount,but then let Bridges fall apart because there's no cash. Let the users pay for the project.
