Question Title

* 3. The Washington State Department of Transportation has experienced some expensive mistakes in recent years, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Do you think our transportation system should be reformed before, or along with, a transportation tax package?

Yes - transportation reforms are necessary to make sure public money is better spent.

No - our transportation needs are too urgent and we should pass a tax package now.

Question Title

* 4. The Washington State Transportation Commission has proposed replacing the gas tax with a vehicle-miles-traveled charge. Would you support this proposal?

Yes - I would support a road-usage charge in place of the gas tax.

No - I would not support the replacement of the gas tax with a vehicle-miles-traveled charge.

I need more information.
