On the surface, I agree with you. It makes more sense for states to decide what they need. But, having seen State/County politics at work, I'm not sure I think things would be much better.

When I lived in Northern VA, we had terrible transporation issues. Northern VA constitued the bulk of the tax revenue in VA, yet with the capitol in Richmond, guess where the money was spent. NOT in Northern VA.

I see the same in Coosa County. Our roads around the lake are worse for the bad winter we had. No doubt the lake constitues the largest chunk of taxes in Coosa. But, money isn't being spent to fix our roads. And they won't raise the county taxes because the bulk of the population can't afford it.
