California was among the first to repurpose gas tax revenue to fill holes in their state's general budget - something the gas tax was never supposed to be used for... Roads, bridges, highway infrastructures were the reasons used for a gas tax in the first place. It was easy to persuade voters to vote for a tax that put motorists on the hook for roads, bridges, etc.
