I don't see how I am overstating it. I think it is reasonable to say that in this metro area, a huge impediment to DC or MD raising the gas tax to fund infrastructure, is a knowledge that Virginia would not do the same. If gas was 50c or 75c or $1.00 cheaper in VA, that would be hugely detrimental to sales in Maryland and DC, and would just result in more gas being purchased in VA. That sounds like a race to the bottom.

I have seen no indication whatsoever that says that the no new tax buffoons would capitulate, even in the face of an elimination of ALL federal gas tax, and federal subsidies for road funding (which won't happen). Please explain how I am overstating.
