Shouldn’t NH Move the RGGI Money to the Road Repair Budget?

potholeBack on Feb 17 I made what I thought was a very sensible suggestion.

If Global warming still causes increased snowfall…

…seems to me the tens of millions in RGGI emissions reduction plunder we get annually would be  better spent offsetting the cost of snow removal.

I don’t think they listened, but I have another, very sensible suggestion in the same vein.

If Global warming causes increased snowfall, and towns and cities have to plow that snow, and the snow, the plows, and winter tear up the roads, seems to me that the tens of millions in RGGI emissions reduction plunder we get annually would be better spent offsetting the cost of repairing potholes.
