Left unsaid is that O’Malley looted Maryland’s $700,000 transportation fund two years ago to pay for illegal alien and climate change programs, and now wants to hike the gas tax to make up the difference.

HA-HA. I said this weeks ago.

I would love to see him successfully raise gas taxes now just to see if stupid Marylanders once again whine and moan and bitch about rising gas prices after supporting this tax and spend radical raising their gas taxes.

I can survive the tax increases and Maryland voters deserve it.

Supporters argue that a tax increase is necessary to boost lagging transportation revenue and pay for needed road and transit improvements in the state. Mr. O'Malley said a 6 percent sales tax would raise $613 million a year and create 7,500 jobs related to construction and other projects.

That's b/c OweMalley and the rest of Maryland Gubbermint raided the Transportation "trust fund" and emptied it.

Time to ask Lil'Marty "Where's the beef money?

O’Malley came out the other day and said how lucky we were that we had a mild winter, and the roads wouldn’t need so much repair.

He failed to mention that the roads were never repaired from last winter. The roads down here in Southern Maryland are in terrible shape. Of course Southern Maryland is the last to get any help from this POS anyway.

I believe the same people who are thinking of passing on this tax bill will be facing a challenge in the next election anyway, since they decided we need same sex marriage. That isn’t sitting so well.I know Mr. Bohannon will be the first on my list to oppose.
