I would support a 4 cent gas tax increase, but only if 100% went directly to road improvements. Heck, raising the gas price 4 cents doesn't even make people think twice these days.

The legislature could easily write the bill to state that 100% of the "new" tax monies went to the cities and towns for road improvements.
