California adds 12 cent gas tax and 20 cent diesel tax

The plan was forcefully pushed by Gov. Jerry Brown as a necessary response to 23 years without a gas tax increase, which has resulted in a backlog of $130 billion in repair and replacement projects throughout the state.

I've no problem paying more for services rendered. Whether used for public or mass transportation it all has the desired result of making travel safer, more comfortable, and available to all.

Don't use much transport in CA currently but as a resident of another high tax area, I've no problem paying additional taxes if I can see a worth in it.

As, I recall, the current Federal administration, listed infrastructure as being a high priority but still hasn't given an inkling on how it'll be paid. As such it seems sound thinking for states to do what they can before any further disasters.

If, we as individual owners, did little to no maintenance on say our home roofs for 23 years, prolly wouldn't have a roof to worry about.
