The purpose of this “Transportation” tax is to fund Jerry’s high speed rail fiasco.

There’s no intention to use the money to fix the roads or else they’d be using existing funds to fix the roads.

Correct. The wording of the Senate bill will place the new taxes into the general fund, where they can be diverted to other pet projects.
