And here in NC the D-rats have siphoned off $190,000,000 from the two highway trust funds this year.

They raid the funds each year, delay needed highway projects and complain that we need to put toll booths out on I-95 to raise highway funds.

And the majority of the voters believe them every election cycle.

#8 I wasn’t taking your name in vain! PROMISE!

The same thing has been happening (until corrected by a plebiscite) here in Missouri. More than a third of moneys collected from motor fuels (road use tax) were diverted to keep bureaucrats at work in Jeff City.

Same problem here in Texas PLUS they start construction on projects all over town, half of which they don't work on most of the time and they play with the traffic light times (we've literally caught them) to clog traffic further to push their toll road agenda.

I'd like to point out that one of the main platforms of Bill Clinton's campaign in '93 was how our infrastructure was in such bad need of repair and he promised he would fix it. This was long before I had any idea what a dispicable, lying POS he was and I simply remember it very clearly because I agreed with him that it ought to be a priority. I never heard whether the money had been allocated for it but I have long suspected it was and just never got there. Your post confirms it. Slick had eight years and he failed completely. Just one more way to take our money and fund their own agenda with it.

I thought when we got the lottery all our financial woes would be over. Honest Jim Black explained how we would not need to raise taxes and steal funds.
