I don't know about you, but I've been enjoying spending well under $3 a gallon for gasoline, of late. I think I saw $2.71 on some sign on the way into work. I dig it.

But I'm not the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

They don't dig it.

Since its funding is tied to average wholesale motor fuel prices, an upcoming January drop of 4.3% in the motor fuels tax could prove costly. According to the cabinet's Chuck Wolfe, that will create an annualized loss of something like $129 billion dollars.

Wolfe says that's about 6% of the cabinet's yearly budget.

I guess it remains to be seen what, ultimately, will be better for all of us. I'm pretty sure that the much lower gas prices we've all been enjoying have been helpful, financially, across the board to Kentucky families.

But how will this 4.3% drop affect any infrastructural projects in the works?

We shall see...or maybe we won't.
