I wonder what Maryland will do with the extra money. How can we find out?

F the Pittman-Robertson Act.

Wow, kind of refreshing to see a tax be put to proper use. Here in Md. they steal from the Save the Bay, Pittman-Robertson, Pension system and anything else they can use to fund their agendas. Look at the increase in the Bay Bridge toll, have you driven across that piece of crap lately? I remember back in 2000 watching the latino workers throw bottles off the work platforms while we were fishing. I swear the same guys are still working on the same friggin parts of the bridge yet it continues to deteriorate. Rant complete

MD has a habit of spending PR funds on crap like open space projects. Especially ones you cant hunt on.

The increased tolls are primarily to pay for mass transit and the Inter County Connector both of which have been financial boondoggles for Maryland. Other than that, MD has raided the so-called Highway Trust Fund to make up general revenue shortfalls

Hasn't it raided the education fund, which is locked with a key, to make up general fund shortfalls.

Going to be some serious raiding here pretty soon with a $1,000,000,000 budget shortfall, or they could raise taxes, or they could cut spending. Me, I'm going with raiding and raising as most likely.

They provide a series of necessary distractions. Also, the teams are owned by very wealthy individuals, who have paid plenty for access to the right Rolodexes.

We the People must have our bread and circuses. Those in power understand how to remain in power, and to reap the rewards.

Not that well thought out piece of asphalt that will take one a total of 5 miles past the White Marsh gridlock to the tunnel gridlock at the amazingly low price of ???????????????????????
