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.
