User fee dilemma

Congress is trying to kill us yet again. The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association has voiced concern over efforts by states and members of Congress repeal or suspend the gasoline user fee, which will negatively impact funding for highways and public transit systems. Cutting the user fee will have an adverse effect on our nation's transportation systems and will not result in direct savings to consumers as intended, according to NSSGA president and CEO Joy Wilson. "In a time when our nation is dealing with the cleanup of the worst natural disaster in modern history, unobstructed access to and within our nation's cities is critical. Funding for both highway and public transit systems should be a top priority of our government, on the state and national levels, or the whole country begins to crumble—education, commerce, defense, environment, energy, services... everything," said Wilson. I couldn't agree more. Your comment?
