Kilgore says he won't raise taxes for roads
Gubernatorial hopeful backs some projects; cites other funding

BY TYLER WHITLEY

Jerry W. Kilgore, the likely Republican candidate for governor, said yesterday that he will not raise taxes to pay for the state's transportation program.

While endorsing some multi-billion-dollar transportation projects -- a third crossing at Hampton Roads, widening of Interstate 66 in Northern Virginia and another bridge crossing the Potomac River -- Kilgore said he would use general fund dollars and tolls and rely more on public-private partnerships to build new roadways.

Asked if he thought Kaine would raise taxes, Kilgore said, "Absolutely. He talks about investments. That's a code word for taxes."

I will always associate the phrase "investments" with increased taxes with Clinton. I don't know if he started it but that's when I noticed libs using that code word.
