+1 State Adopts Gas Tax Increase. 3 Pieces of Informed Intel

California voters approved a legislative increase in fuel taxes and vehicle fees by rejecting a rollback of those revenue sources in Propsoition 6. 

55% of voters approved the increased taxes and fees.

The 3 reasons attributed to the win? (see the reasons Missouri failed, ying and yang):

  • clearly detailing how the levies would be spent to fix deteriorating roads
  • fix  bridges
  • improve mass transit

A clear detailed plan won.
