    That’s cute. Aren’t taxpayers already funding road repairs through all the other taxes they pay?

    Reminds me of how Texas is trying to legalized casinos to “fund education” when that’s why we passed the lottery. Not to mention the $24 billion surplus the state is sitting on.

    I mean, I’m all for legalizing pot, but let’s not try to coach it as a panacea for misappropriated funds.
