The highway fund proposed in the legislature is about restorimg gas tax money shifted out of the highway fund to fund last year's(or maybe even before that) budget. I like the dedicated gas tax for highways; if it's too much related to other priorities, then lower the gas tax and raise some other tax an equivalent to fund education or any other priorities we might have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186797.post-1147107080517070532006-05-08T11:51:00.000-05:002006-05-08T11:51:00.000-05:00Jeff explains at Jeff's BlogJeff explains at <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25686822&postID=114709456546724074" REL="nofollow">Jeff's Blog</A>Kay Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073075957511329333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186797.post-1147103352189444642006-05-08T10:49:00.000-05:002006-05-08T10:49:00.000-05:00The highway fund comes before BEP?

He mentioned that the money should be used to "Fully fund the budget first. Restore the money to the highway fund. Fully fund the BEP, especially the growth funding. Fully fund the rainy day fund. If there is any left after this, return to tax payers through a reduction in the sales tax on food."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
