Infrastructure Report by State

**Gamewell45** · 10-22-2021, 07:51 AM

I think this may be due to putting off maintaining/repairing the infrastructure over the years and at some point it reaches a breaking point (which it appears to be close to if I read the report correctly) so It is obvious that the costs will be astronomical to get everything up to date.

I dont say they are wrong but the report is by civil engineers so there has to be a bit of self serving involved.

They are doing a lot of road construction and repairs here in PA. They raised our gas tax .58c a gallon to pay for it. Now they want to assess a mileage tax. That's gonna put every delivery business out of business. Fucking democrats...

I said it finally had a 'North-South road' that they've talked about since Huey P. Long. (not really 'defending' it, more like mocking)

"Shortly after he became governor, Huey Long launched a major road-building program to transform Louisiana’s antiquated patchwork of dirt and gravel roads into a network of paved roads linking every part of the state. The new roads improved daily quality of life, reduced the cost of doing business, and facilitated commerce in the state."

I think that is a distinct possibility.

I don't think it'll put many out of business, but obviously they'll pass along the costs to the consumer. On the other side of the coin, you can always vote out of office those responsible for this if you so choose.

A mileage tax on top of rising fuel costs will definitely put small delivery services in a world of hurt. Those who survive will surely pass the costs onto the consumer.
I'd be glad to vote them out, but I only vote once.
