There is no arguing California's guilt, every democrat from the kennedy wannabe goobernator on has stolen from the highways fund to pave over the deficit with a thin layer of misappropriation to hide what they pay for their
socialist programs and gifts to illegals.
But hat what makes you think California is special in the practice, other than of course Moonbeam and the democrats shift into ludicrous mode buoyed by the Aztlanists in their party.
Basing my opinion on experience only. Watched gas taxes increase in California while the roads (overall) have gotten worse.
I know there are other states with high gas taxes, but I can't speak to the quality of their transportation systems since I don't live there.
