Someone wrote a letter stating that we must take responsibility for repairing our roads and bridges by paying additional taxes. (Tuesday letters, “We the people must take responsibility.”) I thought we were taking responsibility by paying our already high state gasoline taxes. Of course, how much of what we already pay actually goes for repairing roads and bridges? And how much is being spent for non-automobile related projects?
Wouldn’t it be nice if the state would be responsible enough to inform us exactly where and how our present gasoline taxes are being spent and what percentage actually goes for repairing roads and bridges?
