PJ, this one is for you —
The Boston Globe reports that Massachusetts lawmakers are considering raising the state gasoline tax crom 23½¢ by another 50¢ per gallon to pay for the Big Dig. I just wonder which will end first — the debt or the structural integrity of the tunnels.
Thanks, AOG, that’s an easy one, the tunnels go first. Debt just gets rolled over until there’s no more relatives of politicians seeking cushy turnpike authority jobs.
