Raising the gas tax to pay for a specialized Aspen/Vail transportation solution is a bad deal for most of Colorado.  It makes more sense to have a locally focused tax (like those levied for sports stadiums) to pay for what is essentially an update to their private highway.  Aspen/Vail's fifteen million visitors should be the ones paying for the road improvements, just as we are asking downtown Denver hotel guests to pay for the convention center updates.
