Well there is a law saying excess revenue must be returned, and there is no law saying I93 south should be well maintained. That is the literal answer, hopefully you don't mind me being literal for a second.

My point is no one needed the 100 or 200 or even even a thousand. We should have put it on the ballot like a question. Do we want the 3 billion returned or should we fix our infrastructure. This state is fiscally sound, and our infrastructure is bad. Not just 93 but the whole state.

Really? Its food for a few days. Or fix the infrastructure for everyone. Don't see the lol but everyone gotta add their 2 cents. Its literally a waste of money. Im not saying it doesn't help. But big picture waste of money.

Sounds like you should start a voter initiative cause that is one way to make this happen. Good luck

The biggest issue is the cost of maintaining the roads here. We are literally in the top 5 states for the cost per mile, if not the top 2. Thank the unions and state. It does amaze me how much we pay and just how crappy the worksmanship is.

Yes it does actually. It seems you are the one thinking small for blaming the average citizen for gov misspending.
