“would supplement or replace the gas tax...”
...no, they’d just employ it as yet another tax...other existing taxes would stay the same.
“The group also proposed toll booths on I-77 and I-95.”
...remember when Virginia did just that?....they had toll booths on I-95 thru Richmond....it was supposed to be a temporary measure until the road was paid for....but the Turnpike Authority grew larger and more powerful over the years and wouldn’t voluntarily shut down....finally people got so mad they had to have a law to get rid of that bureaucracy....take heed N.C.....once a state agency gets entrenched, it’s hell to get rid of.
