How Will McDonnell Pay for Transportation?
Editor, Times Dispatch:
It would be of more than a little interest to learn how gubernatorial prospect Bob McDonnell plans to fix our roads and bridges with no tax increase. The state’s gasoline tax has been dormant for years and our highways, roads, and bridges bear witness to this completely outdated system’s fees.
I am not a fan of more taxes, but one must remember the old cliche’: If you dance you must pay the fiddler. We also should remember that all of the state’s roads need care-not just those in the Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads.

IDEAS WITH DETAILS FOLKS.
Enough of the soundbites lets get down to improving our commonwealth’s transportation system.
