Why does the state need to increase taxes?
More then half our money goes for taxes.
The roads around here in California are getting worse and worse. In Minnesota I use google’s street view to see my old suburban neighborhood and the roads now have lots of cracks and have for years as you can move the slider to go back years for street view.
In the old days when I lived there the city would pave the streets. I saw it a few times growing up.
Same reason a drunk wants more booze, a druggie wants more drugs... politicians - never enough of our money..
