Wyoming Road Usage Charge

No chance the contractors are just bending the state over a barrel with what they think it's worth, taking advantage of what they see as an ATM?

 

if i recall, in RI where the toll gantry's went up, a law was written that ALL tolling monies, go INTO the road fund.

now, this being RI, i highly doubt that money will actually stay there, and will mysteriously.....

DISAPPEAR..........

 

Buy an old car with no computer, and not pay the tax. What the f is the state going to do if you don't pay them their blood money??? Will the confiscate your house and property???? Throw you in prison???? I say to hell with them. They created their mess with revenues and shortfalls. Now they can live with the consequences.

 

Oh cmon!
You can't compare warm weather in Tennessee to freezing ### winter in Wyoming!
Not to mention size of a state and people population

 

I don’t see how tourism is that affected by the roads. When my family drove through there the last time it was so cold with wind blowing so hard none of us had any desire to stay there a minute longer than necessary. I can’t imagine living in a place like that.

 

States need to have more accountability of the money that they spend, I don’t think that anyone can argue otherwise.

But people need to also remember that a lot of states have not raised fuel taxes in many years. We all know that nothing ever seems to get cheaper either. So these states are having to try and do all of their repairs and expansions with the same income, while the cost of the work keeps getting more expensive.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m not willing to work for the same money year after year while everything else keeps going up.

 

This is true. I would like to know how they charge what they do for road work and then literally take 8 months to do 10 miles of road. Just seems to me they name their price and then drag the work out as long as possible if they get the job.

 

So you want to have 5$ per gallon?
Don't forget that right now more and more people buying electric cars , and paying 0$ for road repairs (cause electricity payments don't go towards road budgets)
