Just curious, do you have any views on the proposal for new tollways?

Tollways are increased taxes.

From what I've seen, current budgets have continued to bypass Proposition 42 funding of transportation (and are planning to do so for the next two years, according to the proposed "spending control" measure). It leaves us with highways in need of repair and is prohibiting the investment in new infrastructure.

The people of California have been consistently paying taxes to fulfill transportion needs. Unfortunately, Sacramento has continued to divert those funds to other social programs.

Now, they are going to make you pay again.
