re: DOTD taps ads as source for new revenue

Raise the damn gas tax already! Hasn't been raised in almost 25 years as construction costs continue to risealong with the rise in MPG for most vehicles, it is no wonder the state can not adequately fund the backlog of road projects.

But no politician has the balls to step-up and tell the truth. And people will bitch and bitch about adding an extra 10-15 cents a gallon, yet they spend far more on that for car maintenance repairs which are accelerated due to crappy roadways and wasted gas sitting in congestion everyday.
