Oh California......That liberal paradise

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...es-plunge.html
California's congested, crumbling streets are set to become even WORSE as EV sales rise and key revenue from gas tax plunges - after roads were rated 'D' on infrastructure report card
Report warns California faces road funding shortfall due to switch to EVs
Transportation revenues are projected to decline by $4.4 billion over the next decade
Fees on EVs won't be enough to make up for lost tax revenue on gas and diesel
California's roads are set to face a funding shortfall, as revenue from gasoline taxes that fund transportation infrastructure dries up with the adoption of electric vehicles, according to a recent report.

The report from California's Legislative Analyst's Office projects the state's annual transportation revenues will plunge by $4.4 billion, or 31 percent, over the next decade as compared to current levels.

The decline includes a drop of $5 billion, or 64 percent, in gasoline excise tax collection, as well as a $710 million drop in diesel tax revenue, or a 20 percent decline.

Interesting, where does the rest of the money go?????????


Revenue from fuel taxes and vehicle fees funds about a third of state spending on transportation, according to policy news site CalMatters.Revenue from fuel taxes and vehicle fees funds about a third of state spending on transportation, according to policy news site CalMatters.

More liberal mathematics from Gavin Newsom

Governor Newsom on Wednesday projected a nearly $38 billion deficit for the 2024-25 budget year.

That's down from the $68 billion that the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office predicted last month.

The recent report said that measures such as that will accelerate the shortfall in transportation revenues.

Meanwhile, Florida has no state tax and a $7.02 billion budget surplus right now. Interesting.

When I was a young kid I don't remember California having bad roads.

I've seen that mention before though about todays roads in blue California being awful.

When I lived in blue Illinois the roads were all to often wrecked. Some major roads in town even became undriveable and it was a good sized large University town. Government services were lousy in Illinois I thought, though taxes were high.

I remember them being bad growing up. The city roads were nice (red area) but the highways were dog chit.
