I remember when gas 19 cents a gallon. Now our fuel taxes are double that and some more.
Haslam's last year he cut deals for splitting the money with supporters in the Legislature, for pet projects for Developers, and a list of things, that would take a while. The Legislators were giddy after it passed. The 1 cent is just this year it goes up for several years until the gas and diesel taxes federal and state total the same.
None of this is kosher. Everyone knows some of the pieces of this heists not just here but across the Country and yes the President was talking of increasing the Federal Fuel taxes year before last and last year for infrastructure.
Damage to the road by semis is the big culprit in every sate.
Quite importing and starting producing in America and Locally. People are driving a hundred miles or more to work, and not just a few.
hundred thousand pound+ semis are crowding Tn Interstates so much that one evening, we noted in opposing lanes, bumper to bumper semis with marker lights glowing like a giant carnival with just a handful of cars mixed in for a distance of over 10 miles.
Americans are sick of what is going on but we are just supposed to be interested(and angry) spectators. Won't be a decade before our fuel prices, with taxes, equal Europe's and more if the Greenies get their way, and we now are the worlds leading producer of oil and should be energy independent but prices and axes are going up.
