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.

In NC, we pay a road use tax that is included in our annual vehicle registration taxes and fees.  I guess they like being able to know how much money they're going to have to budget with each year.  And, I have to say that by and large, North Carolina has pretty good highways. (I feel like I'm in the twilight zone, when I go home to Ohio)  When I first moved here, I despised the idea of it.  But, if you drive a lot, the savings at the pump more than pays for the road use tax.
