I'm always more knowledgeable after reading here - sometimes a little - often times a lot.<br /><br />I've said it before, but I feel the need to repeat it. Good transportation infrastructure is an almost universal benefit to the residents of the state.<br /><br />Even if you don't drive a car, virtually any service or product you might purchase relies on that infrastructure. The customers who patronize the business you run or work for rely on it to get to you or have you get to them. Emergency services vehicles. Buses. Trash. Recycling. Pizza.<br /><br />Funding sources for transportation should be expanded to reflect this broad based public good and level out the problems associated with the volatile gas tax revenue.<br /><br />I have no problem with using the gas tax and DMV registrations as revenue sources per se, but I think it would be helpful and reasonable to spread it around more than we do.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427829158996224733noreply@blogger.com
