We approve zoning for a bunch of people to move here, but don't have a high enough gas tax to build the roads they need. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 21, 07:10
It kind of pisses the socialist in me off. I pay taxes for roads, ergo, when we need more roads, they should build them. - JaxSean Jul 21, 07:06 3
- The problem typically is lack of existing budget to pay for the widening/new road upfront. So they finance them with toll revenue. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 21, 07:08 2
  - Right, but I still think once they make that back, they should remove the tolls. - JaxSean Jul 21, 07:12 1
    - I agree. I don't know the specifics of the toll authority in FL but I would hope toll revenue is specifically set aside for roads under them. -- nm* - Strongbad Jul 21, 07:15
