Many states, if not all, separate highway revenue and budget from the general budget. Highway work, especially if it requires Federal input, is planned several years ahead.

Yeah, that's what it says in print and what they'll tell you, but in fact, there's a hundred ways to get around that, and they know and use every one of them. An honest audit of the federal funds would show how these funds are used for anything BUT what they were supposed to be used for, but you'll never get that honest audit. Too many state people sucking on that Federal teat for it to ever stop.

Been there and watched that.
