There is now, I read, a proposition in the upcoming election to place the fuel taxes in a dedicated account to be used ONLY for transportation projects, just as it was advertised for at least 40 years(that I have complained).
It is stated that it is the purpose to prevent diversion of those taxes to pet projects. One only hopes for truth on this, but only time will tell.
Gov. Moonbeam's new cap-and-trade taxes are a hidden tax. It can be raised at any time without notice, and for any amount.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH THAT TAX IS? I don't, and further, I don't know how to find out.
Several years ago Wisconsin had that exact type of fuel tax. It was a dedicated fund for road maintenance and construction. The fund actually had a surplus for many years.
However when times got a little tough the legislature changed the laws and raided that account to fund pet projects. Now the roads are in poor shape and there is a road maintenance budget deficit. The same people that changed the law and raided the fund are now blaming the current administration (elected after the fund was raided) for the poor state of the roads.
