>Gas tax hike: Are there any reasonable alternatives?
The fiscal “fuel” gauge on the state Transportation Trust Fund, which pays for major road bridge and rail projects, is in the red zone and headed for “E.” By next year, all revenue from the state’s 14.5 cent-per-gallon gasoline tax will be used to pay off $11 billion in debt racked up over the years. That would leave no money to do road, bridge and transit projects, and would potentially jeopardize more than $1 billion in federal money the state needs to match. (Higgs, Gannett)
