@WRD: will be spent.

Been to Montgomery or Prince George's county lately, particularly outside the beltway (where most of it is)? 99.50% cars on the roads, 0.49% buses and other transit, 0.01% walking. Maryland essentially has a suburban culture that is lived by some four million people, and is supported and serviced by huge business interests with generous lobbying budgets. Urban areas like Bethesda will get leftovers, unless they build some roads -- as it should be, since nearly all of the money will come from suburban and rural taxpayers. And since this a state tax, there are even larger rural sections that also demand $ for roads that have absolutely no use for transit.

I'll wager you one Ride-on bus fare that that almost all of the money will be spent on roads.
