Why don't we cut waste out of other redundant government programs and use that money to fix the roads?

Because people are anxious to jump on a new solution, instead of fixing the obvious problem. We already pay around .40 cents per gallon now or more.:bigthumb:

I'd like to see them clean up the roads. Drive with your windows up and music off and listen to all those rocks chip away at your paint.

Read my lips.....NO NEW TAXES! At least not until other taxes go away first.

Think about it....Have you ever seen ANY tax go away once the door was opened for it?

We had a 1 cent tax here for roads. Raised around $150 million since 2007. Stopped in 2012. They are fixing 170 and 278. You needed a lifted truck to ride down 170 last year.
