From The Watch:
Colorado has dug itself into a billion-dollar backlog of highway projects that even a multi-million-dollar stimulus from Congress can’t fix.
That was the warning Tuesday from Colorado Department of Highways Director Russ George to a joint meeting of the state legislature’s House and Senate transportation committees.
He said Colorado still needs a new revenue stream for transportation infrastructure such as the one being promoted by Gov. Bill Ritter and the legislature’s majority Democrats to impose more than $200 million worth of new user fees on Colorado motorists.
