Abstract:
The Interstate highway system in North Carolina faces daily issues of clogging, high traffic volume, and accidents. Unfortunately, over the next 35 years, the state of North Carolina will need to spend $11.3 billion in reconstruction and $9.4 billion to widen the roads. John Hood, president of the John William Pope Foundation suggests that rather than raising the sales tax, the state should consider using tolls to pay for interstate improvements.
