California, where politics are controlled by the Democrats, must rebuilt Highway 37. It runs next to San Francisco Bay, and the road is going under water as our snow and ice melt.
As far as I can tell, the road exists partly so that the men who trim hedges and women who scrub bathtubs for a living can drive from Vallejo to Marin County to clean for the wealthy. Workers often can't afford to live in Marin County. They commute from cheaper areas.
The Dems have decided to finance the repairs by turning 37 into a toll road. That will transfer much of the cost to minimum wage workers, the shrewdest form of taxation. Let the poorest among us pay for the new 37. There's nothing they can do about it, say some.
