That's state money........the state is not the best at managing it's own money.

The KY DOT was on the verge of collapse until the stimulus money came along. The stimulus money received basically pulled them out of the hole and took care of some of their negative balance. Most of the money collected from the gas tax goes to pay for stuff already built, so there is no getting ahead. It's like having a high balance on a credit card and only taking in enough in taxes to make the minimum payment........hence the need for outside funding for these bridges, such as tolls.
