Georgia collected $20.814 billion in tax revenue in 2016 - Not like the government is lacking revenue The below is form the GA general budget summary:
Georgias Constitution requires spending revenue from the states tax on motor fuel only on public roads and bridges. The money is dedicated to a mix of new construction, maintenance on existing infrastructure and debt service on past investments. Lawmakers passed legislation in 2015 that significantly changed the way Georgia taxes motor fuel, raising the gas tax to 26 cents per gallon of gasoline and 29 cents per gallon of diesel fuel for an increase of 7 to 8 cents per gallon. The 2015 reforms also indexed the new rates to inflation and rising fuel efficiency, so that motor fuel collections can keep pace with changing consumer habits and economic trends. The higher tax results in an anticipated $1.66 billion in Motor Fuel Funds for the states budget for the 2017 fiscal year, a $657 million increase over the original 2016 budget. Also, all gas tax revenue now goes to the Department of Transportation, whereas some of it went to the states general fund under the prior system
