The administration said lifting the toll ban would help address a shortfall in funding to pay for highway repairs.

No, any revenue from turning these roads which we already pay to maintain will be diverted to whatever waste of money is consuming the money which should be used to maintain the interstates now.

In a town near me they approved $2 million from transportation funds to tear down a concrete wall they never should have built in a county park. Fortunately the outrage was loud enough they decided to look for the money elsewhere.

In another example was when Carl Levin was trying to get millions in transportation money to save Tiger stadium in Detroit. His justification for seeking transportation money? He wanted a bus stop built in.
