Judging by the bridges falling down and the pothole epidemic nationwide, the robbing of taxes earmarked by law for highway construction and maintenance has been a fraud for at least a decade now.
Ordinary mortals are susceptible to charges of fraud and misrepresentation; politicians are not.

But, as you point out, there’s no doubt those funds are sorely needed for infrastructure maintenance and replacement.
