“

What would you suggest to fund highway repairs ?”

I don’t know how it is in the Ozarks, but here in Taxifornia, our Highway “Trust” (hah!) Fund has been routinely raided by politicians for all sorts of other projects, transportation related or not.

I would like to see 100% of fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees go to maintaining the highway infrastructure. Vehicle license fees were doubled, the doubled again recently.

Additionally, we’ve had road lanes actually reduced to add bike lanes of both sides of most roads, AND build dedicated bike paths adjacent to these lanes on many roads and bridges.

Guess what vehicles pay ZERO in fuel taxes, and are not registered or licensed? Because cars are evil, and bicycle riders are morally superior.

Insanity.

A couple of years ago, Missouri voters passed an amendment that mandated 100 percent of fuel tax be dedicated to roads and bridges.

Suddenly, MO-DOT got religion and followed the intent of this plebiscite. Today, they're wondering away with stupid light rail in KC and ST. L. Millions more for municipal airport runways...

Insanity !
