Dear Editor,
If our transport policy makers would stop stealing our gas taxes from motorists and truckers to fund their pet projects and boondoggles like the Valley Transportation Authority–San Benito County Council of Governments “Mobility Partnership” – and fiscal bottomless pits like Lite Rail, BART and Caltrain – then we would (1) have lower gas prices, and (2) have self-sufficient, user fees funded transport as recommended by the Blue Ribbon Commission on transport policy. Instead, our money is diverted to re-pay their special interest friends in the public-sector unions. Where are our transport policy leaders leading us? Same route as taken by the USSR?
