Like roads? Schools? Bridges? Police? Etc., Etc.
If these complainers can think of a better way to pay for things, then let them speak.
I've asked my representative (whom I know personally because I volunteered on his campaign) to support a gas tax increase. The state is in very poor fiscal shape right now, and the debts of the MBTA and Turnpike Authority could handicap future state budgets and borrowing potential. The alternative of doubling Turnpike tolls is grossly inequitable.
