Not only gas tax but electricity rates are climbing. With the Smart Meters they are installing, your rates will go up. Ours doubled, one neighbor said his went up by a factor of four and another neighbors has doubled. If you can, look up Smart Meters and the EMF they put out. Have your counties and cities opt out of using them.
Great - something else for the Republican leadership to increase tenfold then tell us “it’s the best deal we could get. Wait till after the next election.”
Not a gas tax....but the mileage tax.

Conservative economists, commentators, and politicians are blasting a draft Obama administration plan that envisions using Big Brother-like tracking devices on private cars to tax drivers on how many miles they travel.
The new tax scheme, designed to help fund transportation spending, would determine your mileage by installing electronic equipment on your car. This would involve monitoring your location and how far you’ve traveled.
5000 Years Ago, Moses Said To Israel, “Pick Up Your Shovels,
Mount Your Asses And Camels, And I Will Lead You To The Promised
Land.”
When Welfare Was Introduced, Roosevelt Said, “ Lay Down Your
Shovels, Sit On Your Asses, And Light Up A Camel, This Is The
Promised Land.”
Today The Government Has Stolen Your Shovel, Taxed Your Asses,
Raised The Price Of Camels And Mortgaged The Promised Land To
China
Doesn’t this bill just expire if they don’t do anything and the Federal gas tax just goes away?
The US consumes about 138 Billion gallons of gasoline per year ...
I would be willing to pay $0.01 MORE per gallon to go into a federal fund [$1.38 Billion dollars], BUT ONLY IF ALL the money went to the states to fix roads ...
My car is getting HAMMERED by the potholes that have NOT been repaired ...
