Word!

Here we have a State (WA) which is running a huge surplus yet imposes an "emergency "gas tax measure. (gas is now cheaper in Hawaii btw)

Super, take a trip to Texas ...you'll see Big infrastructure. . . and they seem to build the big stuff with ease. Here, however, roads and bridge projects are closer, in implementation, to Boston's "Big Dig" -- that is, politicians seem more interested in spending (taxing) Big Bucks, and using the project for political positioning, rather than for achieving a smart outcome for the taxpayers.

Btw, the city of Seattle has a clear plan to slow & limit traffic...unless its owned by, and controlled by, the gubiment .
