Gas tax hike needed to fix N.Va.’s lousy roads Re: “Va., Md. punt on billions needed for roads,” April 30

I‘ve lived in Northern Virginia since 1979, and while I’m generally quite happy here, I find the total lack of planning for future growth amazingly poor, thanks to the General Assembly’s failure to make any serious effort to fix our lousy road system. Even though I-66 is under constant repair, the potholes and uneven surfaces rattle one’s teeth. Then there is the Spaghetti Bowl where I-95 joins the Beltway, which is enough to confuse Einstein.
