Yeah, that's what they say about all taxes. When the GW bridge opened in the 1930's, they were only supposed to collect tolls until the bridge payed for itself, which it did eight years later. Hmmm, still paying tolls on that thing today.
Taxes just get lumped into the general fund and are used to pay for whatever the city deems necessary at that time. It won't be any different with congestion pricing.
How can you take them seriously on what they are going to spend the money on, when the city is facing yearly budget shortfalls? They're gonna spend any new revenue to fill that gap.
