there it is again... unnecessary roads??? do give examples!

no, of course not. but as they say people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

how do you really feel?

i absolutely agree! i'm not one to typically be in favor of higher taxes. but i do know from experience that building or repairing roads is EXPENSIVE and not something a state can just decide not to do (unless it become like michigan which is a disagrace as it used to have good roads ).

so roads have to be created as population grows, and constantly fixed, and that takes a ton of money. a local 4 lane was being redone and they said it was $11 million a mile!

if state revenues drop a lot, you can't suddenly cut the road budget significantly without negative ramifications.
