I can't believe that highway funding from tax on gasoline is simply being funneled off for other projects (e.g. illegals). There is more than enough money to fix the roads. Instead our politicians wants an “infrastructure bill”.

Fedzilla pays for the build, but interstates are owned and maintained by the states.

Wanna know why your interstates are going to hell, check out your state’s budget.

Years ago, Missourians found out a portion of the gasoline tax was being siphoned off for education.

To resolve the situation, we had a statewide-vote and amended our state constitution to stop gas taxes being used for other than transportation spending. The wailing from the NEA was deafening.

Now we just have to fend off the bicycle-riders.
