Steve Crifasi: Brown’s gas tax won’t be used to fix our roads

I saw on the news Wednesday that our governor, Moonbeam Brown, wants to raise the gas tax in California to help pay for road repairs. If he had an ounce of gray matter between his ears he should have used the revenue for the high speed train for road repairs. If this tax passes, somehow it will go into the general fund and we will never see any road repairs. It’s time the people of the state wise up and vote the Democrats out of office

Steve Crifasi, Modesto
