Reply #1: I gotta vote for it, evem though I agree with your point. I really don't

understand why the state legislators are trying to temporarily cut the gas tax at the same time we're voting to raise it. Why do they have this "rainy day fund" to dip into now to make up the difference, when our roads have been so bad for so long? Anyway, these roads have got to get fixed by somebody. I gotta think about those levees in NO, too. These roads are only getting worse, and it's gonna cost more later ifwe don't act now. Also, I've been through more tires, shocks, and alignments in 10 years here than I did in 20 years in California. You can pay up front or not, but you're gonna pay. Also, people are gonna get killed.
Back to where the money comes and goes, though. Here in Lawton, there are some roads that seem to be in fine shape, but they get federal matching funds for widening, so they get worked on. Meanwhile other streets in terrible shape just sit.
Still. like i said, I gotta vote for it. You know almost no-one else will.
