DOT and the Coming Gas Tax Increase

The Department of Transportation is moving ahead with construction projects that are going to take multiple years to complete even though it knows that by next year the Transportation Fund will be depleted. These projects include widening Route 18 in New Brunswick, fixing the Stickel Bridge making changes to the ramps connecting Route 280 to the Parkway.

In a Star Ledger article Transportation department spokesman Marc La Vorgna said "We're moving forward with confidence that the Legislature is going to come up with a solution"

I bet they are. There is Zero chance that one way or the other the State will not raise the Gas Tax rather than cut spending someplace else.
