The new gas tax is supposed to raise $34MM. Some will go to finishing I-93, but I hope a large part will go to roads like 113 and 25B, and bridges. And DOT pays the Department of Safety over $70MM a year for State Police. For many, that should stop and the $70MM should be used for roads as the Constitution envisions.

Now, campaign season, is a good time to talk to state rep candidates about these issues. Bills get filed in the fall. When the House and Senate go back into session(January), it is too late.

And remember to keep receipts for boat gas so you can get the new 22 cent refund.
