I attended several GACIT meetings for the 10 – Year Highway plan, and in every single one, there was perhaps one single individual who did not want us to increase credits or the gas tax to pay for projects. I have heard from several.D.O.T. officials that one penny would bring roughly $8 million of revenue, and that only a single nickel of increase in gas tax would be enough to pay for all projects in the next 10 years. As someone who lives with a disability, and is therefore unable to drive, any efforts to increase transportation in the state should be pursued. Please consider vote Ought to Pass on this critical bill.

Absolutely NOT! The financially bloated highway system continuously seeks to rebuild what is satisfactory. The cost of what is needed is minuscule compared to the voracious appetite of highway contractors lobbyists whispering in the ears of politicians.
