How many would be willing to pay higher fuel taxes?
What was it last year, WA and OR raised their gas taxes by 20 cents per gallon figuring people wouldn't notice while the price of crude was low. They had no intention of putting it into the roads.
The worst I've seen are CA's cement roads, down on Hwy 10 by Lafayette and the toll roads and bridges around Chicago where the tolls aren't going into the roads either.
I don't mind the fuel tax when it's used for the roads, then I get something for my money. It's when they use it to subsidize something else that they know the tax payers wouldn't stand for that gets me riled up.
