“in lieu of the gas tax”
Yeah, like that will happen.
Remember that these policy wonks are paid to come up with these stupid ideas and some other parasite is then paid to evaluate it. If it does not work, they are not liable for all the costs they impose on the rest of us. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
It won’t be in “lieu of the gas tax”.
You know how these people operate.
More likely, it will be IN ADDITION TO the gas tax.
