Well, here in Idaho we have a low gas tax, no tolls, and no highway projects in the pipeline, and IDOT will only be doing routine maintenance. This fall IDOT announced it would not be plowing I-90 at night; except in the immediate area of Coeur D'Alene. Have not seen how that works out yet because it has been dry as a bone here for over a month. I do use Washington and Oregon roads to get to Boise because the main North South road here is a two lane country bumpkin highway, for the most part. But, we are running a surplus in the state budget for 2011.

Not laughing at you all, but just sayin; you get what you are willing to pay for.
