From the point of view of conventional politicians, the WHOLE purpose of your tax dollars is to promote their reelection. Beware the politician who seeks to buy your vote with money that was not given to him for that purpose. There is nothing unusual in the least about this.

Tyler Ballance http://virginiavirtucon.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/lg-bolling-speaks-out-on-timmys-transportation-plan/#comment-35987 J.

This approach has proven to be much more expensive than traditional revenue sources and the states that employ these multinationals have given up sovereignty over a key part of the People's infrastructure. An addition to the gas tax is still the simplest and cheapest way to fund the transportation needs of the Commonwealth. Mr. Bolling is still singing the regional taxing authority tune that caused several Republicans to lose their seats last election. The Republican ticket is also advocating greater use of Toll Roads. Virginians hate toll roads and any politician who utters the word, Toll. McDonnell-Bolling-Cuccinelli may be the next ticket to go down in flames due to that single, despicable word: Tolls!
