Reduction would work as stimulus

A recent article stated that road improvement projects have been completed in shorter amounts of time and under budget. There is “stimulus” funding available that is helping to complete even more projects and further road improvements. This seems like a good time to actually reduce the gas tax that is the third-highest in the entire nation, behind only New York and California. Perhaps a gas tax reduction will give consumers their own “stimulus” and reduce the cost which just happens to be going up, once again. A “windfall” or surplus of funding doesn’t seem possible on tax reliant programs, but that is what I have read in a recent article. The costs of building and construction materials have saved the contractors money, now how about saving the taxpayers a little money too?
