It need not be equitable, just functional. Hey man, we have almost the highest gas tax in the country, wow, maybe that could fund it along with the federal bucks?

Or we can continue to send bureacrats all over the world on junkets and seminars and the like

It doesn't need to be Equitable? But people complained about their tax dollars being used to subsidize transit and ferries that they didn't use. Couldn't interstate highway construction or any roadway construction be viewed in a similar light? If this voter concern were incorporated into the decisions of any roadway construction project, shouldn't funding for that construction be equitable to use?
