A new survey
by non partisan reform group California
Forward says that a majority of Californians are willing to pay certain increased
fees and taxes if the money is put to use rebuilding our state’s vital
infrastructure. At the top
of the infrastructure priorities list were schools, followed by streets and
roads, water and transportation.
As engineers we are often called upon to advise on
infrastructure programs in other states and countries and so we know the value
of having a properly supported infrastructure program. But it’s good to know that taxpayers
are willing to support that investment.
One part of the survey overlooked by some media: survey respondents most often cited
wasteful spending and the need for wiser usage of existing monies as the reason
for their response to infrastructure funding options.
