Higher-than-expected state revenue has not eased pressure on lawmakers, who now must decide how best to spend the extra $233 million flowing into state coffers over the next two fiscal years. The boost to the income side of the state ledger came at the conclusion of the biannual Revenue and Caseload Estimating Conference on Friday. […]

America’s roadways have seen better days. In its 2025 report card, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gave American road infrastructure a D+. The organization noted that “39% of major roads in the U.S. are in poor or mediocre condition,” and the repair backlog is approaching $700 billion. This month, lawmakers will convene to address these issues and mark up the surface transportation reauthorization bill. They would be wise to keep in mind that massive trucks wreak havoc on roads, reducing pavement life and making accidents far deadlier. As the National Consumers League, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, and 25 other organizations made clear in a recent coalition letter to lawmakers, proposals being considered on Capitol Hill would make the problem even worse by putting even larger and heavier trucks on the road. Congress must avoid this policy pothole and embrace commonsense rules of the road. The overwhelming weight of evidence cautions against allowing heavy trucks on the road. In her comprehensive overview of the data, Purdue engineering scholar Maria Alicia Chung Li concludes, “Overweight truck operations cause significant damage to highway infrastructure that consequently reduces the service life of pavement and bridges. Overweight trucks cause much greater damage to pavement surfaces than the damage expected from legal weight trucks.” Among the more striking studies surveyed by Li was a Texas analysis estimating “that the damage caused by overweight truck traffic ... is approximately 20.6 percent greater than the damage caused by the design traffic.” The same study found that “the additional damage caused by overweight trucks reduces pavement service life by 50 percent.” These results are not surprising: putting too much pressure on even the most durable materials can wear the materials out in short order. A 2009 analysis by researchers at the University of Waterloo “showed that concrete bridge damage is exacerbated when they experience sustained OW [overweight] truck operations because such vehicle loads accelerate the incidence and severity of fatigue cracking, leading to exposure of reinforcements to moisture and subsequent corrosion and cover concrete spalling.” Because of similar estimates of damage from overweight vehicles, Congress has wisely opted for decades to maintain the maximum cap of 80,000 pounds in Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) on federal interstates. Some states have bypassed this limit by setting up permitting systems that allow overweight vehicles access to certain designated roads — so long as fees are paid into state coffers. A joint 2024 study by the Indiana Department of Transportation and Purdue University notes, “Indiana and Wisconsin [have] the highest thresholds for extra-legal truck weights (over 200,000 lbs. and 170,000 lbs., respectively). They are followed by Missouri (160,000 lbs.), Iowa (156,000 lbs.), Michigan (150,000 lbs.), Minnesota (145,000 lbs.), and Ohio, Illinois, and Kentucky (120,000 lbs.).” The idea behind these state-level permitting systems is a tempting one. If hefty vehicles can be economically useful but take a toll on the roads, they should pay extra to compensate for the extra wear and tear. The problem is that these overweight permits are still leading to faster road deterioration even with extra fee revenue. The data clearly shows that more OW permits lead to greater infrastructure damage and required maintenance with taxpayer dollars. The Indiana Department of Transportation and Purdue University conclude, “routes that experience higher cumulative loads see their PCR [Pavement Condition Rating] decrease faster than their counterparts ... [OW] routes with higher cumulative loads experience on average approximately 70,000 more ESALs [Equivalent Single Axle Load] than their counterparts and see PCR drops of six points on average ... this translates into approximately $3,778/mile in pavement damage cost due to OW operations.” Congress raising the maximum GVW on federal interstates would make these problems worse. States would almost certainly raise the maximum weights in their OW permitting programs, and taxpayers would pay the price. Meanwhile, old and faltering pavement across the country would be exposed to far more pressure on a daily basis. If America’s roads only earn a D+ now, it is only a matter of time before they fail. Congress must swerve away from proposed weight increases and keep commonsense policies on autopilot.

Los contratos que se firmaron después de la nueva legislación subieron su precio el doble que la subida media, según el INE, que cifra la subida acumulada en los últimos diez años en un 21,1%, Primeras negativas a la prórroga del alquiler: “Me responden que me vaya con otro burofax” La Ley de Vivienda, que entró en vigor en mayo de 2023 y que buscaba proteger a los inquilinos ante unos precios disparados, no ha ayudado a frenar los precios. Los nuevos contratos se valieron de mejoras como la mayor duración hasta los 5 años (7 en caso de que el dueño sea una empresa), las prórrogas obligatorias o la prohibición de cobrar comisiones inmobiliarias a inquilinos. Pero los precios de los nuevos contratos subieron un 8,8 en 2024, el primer año completa con la Ley de Vivienda en vigor, que el año anterior, cuando lo hicieron un 4,1%. Es además casi el triple de lo que subieron los contratos existentes, un 2,8%, estos protegidos por las prórrogas de la nueva ley. Contando ambos, el alquiler subió un 3,5% en este año, según los datos publicados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) este lunes. Nunca desde 2021 (año desde el que se contabiliza esta variable) los nuevos contratos habían subido tanto. Si en 2021 lo hicieron un 3,5%, en 2022 subieron un 5,3% y en 2023 se moderaron al 4,1%. El acumulado lleva a una subida del 12,9% en cinco años en los contratos nuevos, por el 10,4% del alquiler en general, una diferencia entre ambos modelos muy inferior a la que se dio en 2024. Los precios no estaban topados en España porque la Ley de Vivienda daba la opción de limitarlos a las Comunidades Autónomas. Pero en 2024 esa limitación ya estaba en vigor en 140 municipios de Catalunya (se amplió a 131 más a finales de año y a zonas de Euskadi, Navarra y Galicia el año después) y tampoco allí impactó especialmente en los precios de los nuevos contratos. Los nuevos contratos subieron algo menos alí, un 7,5%, que en la media española, y los ya existentes lo hicieron un 2,6%. La Comunitat Valenciana experimentó en 2024 las mayores subidas en los nuevos contratos, hasta un 11,5%, mientras que Extremadura fue la subida más leve, con un 7,1%, eso sí, por encima del doble de lo que había subido el año anterior, un 2,9% en 2023. En el acumulado desde 2015, la subida del alquiler es de un 21,2% en España, con Valencia como la capital donde más ha subido en estos años, un 36,4%, por encima de Málaga, donde ha subido un 32,7%, y Palma, la última por encima del 30% de subida al alcanzar el 31,3%. La que ha subido menos, Tarragona, lo ha hecho en un 22,1%. Las capitales donde más subieron los alquileres en 2024 fueron Valencia (5,9%), Malaga (5,2%) y Alicante, un 5,1%.
