Need to see a strategic plan before asking people for tax dollars. It is as simple as that. Just asking for dough into a generic need is ripe for corruption and political football.
I would agree for a sales tax, but not for gas tax.  Those often pay for operations and maintenance.  And quite frankly, local govt doesnt charge enough already.

No. The mobility fee is already being reinstated in the form of an 18 month ramp up.
