Taxing drivers on miles driven could raise more for road repairs

Taxing drivers on miles driven could raise more for road repairs
"An estimated $3.4 billion is spent each year on the 121,000 miles of local, state and federal roads that cobweb across Michigan. Experts say Michigan ought to be spending $6 billion.
'We need to find another source of funding,' said Bill Shreck, director of communications with the state Department of Transportation."

Does anyone notice that every time an "expert" is quoted by any government flack and reported by their comrades in the liberal media, the expert ALWAYS says we (TAXPAYERS!) are not paying enough?

I suppose any "expert" that suggested the state has enough money wouldn't find to many jobs as an "expert".

And don't ya love the "we need to find another source of funding" synonym from the guys who spent all the money?
