True - the senate voted the 1913 Revenue Act ( income tax) into law. All the Dems , except 1 voting for if, & all but 1 R voting against. Was supposed to be temporary.
I thought that was the case, seem to remember an outcry about that - I live in MO but halfway follow KS issues. I will say that a low population state like KS it makes more sense to tax the drivers who use that road vs piling on taxes for the people who live there and in some cases never even drive on it. But that assumes KDOT uses the money wisely?? I will say we took the 1-70 toll roads to CO for an annual ski vacation for 20+ years and the roads are in good shape unlike the pothole-ridden always under construction roads in states like IL.
MO floated a toll for adding a lane to I-70 across the state about 7-8 years ago and that went over like a lead balloon. But we got a pile of covid money and that is now what is funding the expansion, so no toll roads in MO.
Well, it's not just generating revenue for the sake of revenue, and incidentally ... road repair. It's about people control, and the fake agendas like climate and carbon which are also about control of every aspect of human action.
So ... DOGE revelations, USAID for example and much more. There's plenty of money for road, vital infrastructure IF IT WERE GRIFTED, outright stolen away.
And so, 'they' are outright playing us left and right. And I hope it ends now.
Shit I had no idea you were a Kansas (or maybe MO?) resident too! No wonder we get along so famously. (or at least agree with one another a lot). My county did get rid of our section of the I-70 toll--it now doesn't start until I think Douglas County whereas it used to start in Leavenworth.
I'm keeping a stank eye on whatever they think they are going to shove down our throats about the "Chiefs" and us poor citizens having to pay for any of it---which I want ZERO part of.
That's funny. My cousin (one of hundreds but this one and I grew up together pretty much so like a brother) is now in San Diego where he ended up after the Navy. Small world.
Well Howdy Ryan! I’m from Highland in the Inland Empire and have spent lots of time in SD … love it! My granddaughter is graduating from UCSD this June. 😄
STAR bonds.....for a stadium they will play a dozen games a year in a good year and maybe a few concerts. Done with this welfare scheme - Royals and Chiefs can move for all I care! Get woke, go broke.
They did move the toll location start point from Leavenworth County to Douglas at least 15 maybe 20 years ago (time flies) as I think Leavenworth opted out of continuing the toll here. I don't remember the particulars of it but I can guarantee it cost them a pretty penny to move it.
Do you remember when they told us we'd only pay for the I-70 turnpike toll roads coming out of KC for 10 years?
Thats why people should never vote for new taxes that have an alleged sunset. Because when you vote for it, it always becomes permanent.
Coronado Bay Bridge in San Diego is a prime example. Took lawsuits to make the tolls finally end after the bridge was paid off.
Yup. I'm from San Diego, but spent 3 years in KC during grade school.

Same story with all the bridges in San Francisco Bay Area and tolls just keep going up!
Really?
I did NOT know that!
Dems for taxes, Repubs against-- even a 100 yrs ago.
It’s in their dna!
for about 25% of the population, I believe this is indubiably correct!
Same thing in the peoples republic of Illinois.
Supposed to end when tollways were paid off.
The Dan Ryan etc.

My wife graduated from UCSD!

What a small world.

A good reminder! The sun never sets on the grifter empire.
Sunset, temporary, stop, end and the like are not words in the govt vocabulary - I suspect they are in the Govt Book of Lies tho 😆
Pretty much! Same in CA
Nope. Must have been before my time. Didn't have to use I-70 until 2008 when I started a new job in Topeka and commuted.

It was in late 70's
That is so true!
Do you think the toll roads(control roads) are part of the conditioning for restricting travel or 15 minute cities?
