Arizona lawmakers are using a gutsy approach to solve mounting problems with financing road and street improvements. They are placing a proposal on the November ballot for a one-cent statewide sales tax to pay the cost of improving city streets, county roads, state highways and transit. They estimate $40 billion would be raised over 20 years.
Too bad nobody in Colorado has the intestinal fortitude to make a similar proposal. Our leaders’ approach seems to be to let everything deteriorate to the point the citizens demand a solution. So much for our brave leaders who have to worry more about getting re-elected.

Actually Dick, a better, cheaper, and even politically safer would be to divert any and all monies currently being spent on supporting illegal aliens to road, bridge, and other infrastructure needs.
The same with a whole raft of other touchy-feely ways the government wastes our money every day.
