Put your hands above your head and step away from the cookie jar

When it comes to spending at the state capitol, Representative Vic Williams says, “They are willing to put a lid on the cookie jar, but they keep punching holes in the side of the jar.”  One example is the state highway fund, which is supported by gasoline taxes.  Although that fund is specifically dedicated to building and maintaining Arizona’s roads, the state legislature has been using it to pay for other programs for the past few years.

State Representative Vic Williams has introduced HB 2771, which makes any raid on the Highway fund a debt that has to be repaid by the legislature.  The bill has the support of 51 cities and towns as well as the Arizona Highway Users Association.
