Exactly. If the folks up think they need to pay higher taxes for infrastructure improvements (which, in fairness, they desperately need), then let the politicians try to sell them on it. And maybe, just maybe, the politicians might find that they have no choice but to CUT THEIR WASTEFUL PORK SPENDING and shift their money to more important things like roads.

Yep. The problem with the VA road system is that downstate policians skim off the money raised in the economic centers of the state (NoVA, and to a lesser extent Hampton Roads) and use it to pave cow paths in their districts.
