Lynchburg News & Advance

Transportation is a key to new jobs and Virginia’s economic recovery, but state leaders must start talking about ways to pay for roads, Democrat Terry McAuliffe said Sunday during a gubernatorial campaign stop in Lynchburg.
“We’re going to have to have an honest discussion about revenue,” McAuliffe told about 30 people at the Star Light Café in downtown Lynchburg. “Not many people will tell you that,” he added.
Virginia faces being unable to provide state matching money in order to obtain federal grants to build roads in 2018 and thereafter, he said.
