Yet, the money

lots more where that came from).
So we will mandate a reduction in bridge and highway repair

Hey, Du-kakka-on-us did it with the gas taxes in Taxachusetts. He
used the money to help illegal Latinos. Meanwhile, our bridges and
roads went to pot, big chunks falling on cars. All roads and bridges
suffered, except the Mass Pike which was supposed to be paid for
decades ago. They keep borrowing money and therefore have to pay off
the notes, so, voila, we hafta pay ever increasing tolls.

To say nothing of the Ted Williams Tunnel fiasco........

so, you see my point? Now, state gasoline taxes are generally higher than
the Fed tax. And, of course, you folks up there have a host of greedheads to
blame for that whole Big Dig fiasco. Still, building and maintaining
infrastructure is important, and must be paid somehow.

politicians? d;o)

The Big Dig work turned into a fiasco, but the downtown is much better
for it.
