gas tax....the more you drive the more you pay

It depends on gas mileage, too. But it still seems kind of fair. I would think lighter, smaller high MPG cars do less damage to roads than heavier vehicles do.

Some people should stick to reviewing new Rap releases.

Equip every vehicle with a GPS tracking device that uploads its data whenever it passes by prepositioned checkpoints. Then a monthly statement can be sent to the vehicle owner for their share of road maintenance, and what type of road they used.

And who will be in charge of writing the software for this brainstorm?

Obama and his Merry Communists?

But of course, with a back door for the NSA.

Tolls haven’t gone over well in GA so far.
Make them mandatory and you’d have a full scale revolution the next day.
