I’d be willing to bet money that at least in CA the contracts for lane conversions will include stuff like “will complete bike trail X” and “will fund segment Y of High Speed Rail...”
Possibly, but I suspect not. Trump probably will not be interested in that and will possibly leave CA out of said partnerships - or use Federal supremacy to simply bypass the state government. Allowing Interstate conversion to tollways is actually a Federal function.

ABSOLUTELY - just who do we think runs these states? And then after the conversions what’s to stop them from imposing ‘excise taxes’ on the operators for the same purpose?
One would think that people here would understand leftists well enough to know that they’re going to simply pack up their agenda and leave, just because we’re now taxing people a new way.
