OK; I think I see what you're driving at (no pun intended). I am not necessarily advocating local tolls in Tidewater and NoVA; that's not fair either as it puts all the burden on those areas.

I am looking for a fair and reasonable system that will allocate the tax proportionate to the actual road usage and cost/benefit ratio. There are obviously a lot of complex issues interacting here. These really need more study before the pols arbitrarily increase the tax on gasoline; which is already forecast to hit $4/gallon by this summer and some are forecasting will reach #5/gallon by this time next year.

The economy is teetering on the brink and raising taxes on something as essential as fuel just seems reckless in the current economy.

Take care,

-Geoff

I’m actually in total agreement with you. actually there is no excuse for the high price of gasoline, or any fuel for that matter. Heck we’re exporting the dag gone stuff, which tells me there is plenty of it and the price should not be anywhere near what it currently is.

I don’t know what the answer is, but there has to be something..........

have a good evening.
