Also 4.3 billion went to pensions and not the roads/bridges.

That $4.3 billion was for operations of state police and not just retirees pensions. It was over ten years and amounted to only ten percent of pendot s budget over that time period

You have proof about the budget? When they did the audit a few years back that’s when they discovered the 4.3 billion went to pensions. That was in the papers, radio, and news. It was a pretty big story that upset a lot. As for Wolfe re writing laws. Understand that. He could’ve brought it out more into a public focus and put the lime light on his fellow Republican lawmakers who chose to make such a crappy tax.

So the issue is if you promote something. Say it’s going for one thing. Let’s say for example the roads. Then you turn around and use it for another thing… wouldn’t that fall under a false tense? A type of fraud to the public?

I never said it wasnt fraudulent. I’m just pointing out it was only one small part of a giant mess
