Do our NJ state highway taxes more than account for the portion of the state budget for roads? Yes.

Actually (believe it or not), in New Jersey the answer to that question is NO. That's why this state's transportation trust fund is going to be depleted entirely in a few years.

“Actually (believe it or not), in New Jersey the answer to that question is NO. That’s why this state’s transportation trust fund is going to be depleted entirely in a few years.”

Are you sure that the depletion of the “transportation trust fund” is not do to any siphoning off of some of its “reserves” to non-transportation related costs, as part of previous budgetary fixes, and now, instead of restoring it from other revenue sources, the “drivers” are going to be asked to make-up for capital they already raised, that was removed from serving the transportation purposes it was raised for?

You should be here in NC. The state Dem’s just raided out highway trust fund for $190,000,000 this year.

They do it every year and then cry the road aren’t getting fixed and we need to raise taxes.
