It is a shame it has come to this.
With fuel tax set at a FIXED amount per gallon, the value of that drops markedly over time. Given inflation (even as moderate as it has been for several years), you simply cannot buy now what you could buy when the tax was established (unlike taxes that are a percentage of the total cost).
Making it even worse, fuel economy keeps improving which, while that is a good thing, it means that the same amount of road usage results in less tax revenue (on top of the impact of inflation).
People expect decent roads, growth and population movement necessitate some road improvements...and it's necessary to properly fund them. The fuel tax in MO is rather low...and MoDOT surely isn't reaping benefits from the rising price of fuel (quite the contrary--people cut back on usage, driving revenue down even more).
Good luck...
