USA Today: States Losing Billions in Unspent Highway Funding

USA Today recently published an article about billions of federal dollars that have, over the years, been earmarked for specific highway projects, but have remained unspent due to a variety of reasons (including $758.7 million in New England). Much of this money is counted against a state's share of federal gas tax revenue, and, if the money goes unspent, the state loses a proportionate share of federal revenue.
