I'm ready to raise taxes as high as necessary to solve the transportation funding deficit. But does anyone seriously believe that more money for roads in NOVA and Hampton Roads is going to fix/solve their transportation woos. A majority of any new money will go towards paving and paving and paving and at the end of the day in 10, 20, 30 years NOVA and Hampton Roads will probably just be bigger transportation hellholes. New money, yes. New roads, no. Virginia needs to get out of the roadbuilding business and use all monies for mass transit, rail, and preserving farmland.
