I said, let us raise the user fees--not by a dollar, not by half a dollar or 25 cents, but let us raise them.
Why don't we raise the gas and diesel tax by a penny a month for 25 months?
The truth is our roads, highways, bridges, our transit systems are in bad shape and getting worse.
Another truth is, if things are worth having, they are worth paying for.
