Remember these type of actions from our state politicians next election and don't fall for the pretty slogans and cinderella promises.

NeverSurrender, thank you. Mako get a life, since your obivous agenda is to intimidate with a large amount of dis-information and insults. People like you exist for one reason and one reason only and you have proven that point.

"Sixth, and most important, NCDOT funding has remained flat for the last six years, while construction costs have about doubled. Meanwhile, there are more and more trucks and cars on the road. If it was run like a business, fees would have gone up years ago."

Which makes one wonder when the government-approved inflation numbers (even including the volatile food/energy components) over those same six years comes nowhere close to justifying doubling the costs of construction.

Even accepting that true inflation once you factor in the deficits and all of the "off-budget" items that don't appear in the accounting is probably closer to 4-5% per year...where in the world is the other 70-75% of that increase in costs coming from?!?

I can name that tune in two words...MISMANAGEMENT and GREED.

I wouldn't have a problem with taxation for the public good. However, we're subjected to unnecessary taxation to put billion$ into the pockets of greedy politicians and thieves with corporations!

VOTE THEM ALL OUT STARTING WITH PERDUE

When the government spends responsibly, I'll quit being ticked off about yet 'another tax increase'.

That should happen, oh, let's say, sometime after all politicians die.
