Interesting. Not the Feds, a State. I guess the attitude would have made
sense in the old days in California when gas tax was actually used, by law,
for highways.

Still the same law on the books here but the state government has been
borrowing [read stealing] it for years to balance the budget so the roads
don't get fixed. Then they want us to pass bonds to fix the roads.

Maybe I'd vote for a bond to build a prison for all the legislators and
governors that voted/signed legislation to break the law. Darn big bond that
would be.
