The thugs in Sacramento have been pulling this three card monte scam with tax dollars for years.
Possibly excepting Gov. Deukmejian, (though the Dem-controlled legislature wrote and approved the budgets he signed, so ...), this theft of gas tax and vehicle registration $$ dates to Goobernor Moonbeam 1.0, ~45 years.
When our family last traveled east on I-80, 2007, we could tell when we entered Nevada without looking at signs. On the CA side it was shameful, all chewed up. On the NV side I-80 was in great condition. Locally, SR17/I-880, part of my daily commute, is getting to be pretty shameful, as is a section of I-880 in Oakland (which I see/drive when I do running events in the Richmond area).
