How many of these "Infrastructure Bills" have we had the last 12 years that was going to fix our bridges and highways. Seems like "shovel ready" was one slogan to sell to the tax increase. How many new bridges or highways have you heard about actually being built? All I hear is how badly neglected our infrastructure is but never how much has been fixed. Its a lot easier to point out bad examples to show a need for new taxes but it's real hard to show a new bridge or road that was never built with the past taxes.
