My question, how has the funding dedicated to roads/bridges been re-allocated over the past decade, and to what projects? Perhaps we could audit budgets and return dollars to specified funds rather than taxpayers opening their wallets again.
What are the chances we would get an answer to that?
It has been re-allocated to smaller towns via pet projects by state legislatures wanting to punish Indianapolis and Bloomington.
Also, it has just not been funded and that is why we have a huge budget surplus.
Don’t forget we also implemented “automatic” refunds to taxpayers … gives legislators something to put on their postcards, while taxpayers get a fraction of the money needed to pay for the car repair needed after an Indiana winter.
