The NY Thruway system still has tolls to pay for maintainance.

They were supposed to be eliminated years ago when a fund that was supposed to be set up paid enough interest to pay for repairs.

So now we’re looking at a NATIONAL gas tax to pay for other states repairs, also. How about each state take care of it’s own bridges?

Already in place. Most states pay %20, with the %80 coming from federal money.
