Then get rid of the “bridge, highway, emission, E-470, clerk, air account,
base taxes on annual car registrations.

They have money to fix the roads but they blow it on other ‘programs’.

It's a transportation bill. That means that most of the money will go to subsidizing bus and rail transport (oooh, I bet someone is looking into buying some multi-million dollar solar powered buses right now with their anticipated tax income)

Following will be big ticket items like iconic showpiece bridges to replace existing functional bridges as well as highway expansions to businesses operated by large donors.

Oh, and maybe some road repairs.

Why are they spending half a billion dollars on highway 34 in the Thompson canyon but do not have money for I25? It looks like they are pulling monies out of 34 and want to close the canyon for a couple more years for some political gain. Why does the dome of dummies put education last in the budget which always runs short? It seems like they want to raise taxes and break the “Tax Payers Bill or Rights”. They pay $2B for welfare for illegal aliens but can’t fix roads or schools.

Colorado is following in the footsteps of California. Be very careful folks.

The idea that express roll lanes cut traffic congestion is nonsense. All it does is take a lane away from traffic. Same with HOV or diamond lanes. Don’t believe it....take a look at traffic in the Bay Area or LA

I wonder if they ever thought of using what they have for what it was intended? Pretty sure this isn’t just a Colorado problem.
