I’ll agree to a tax hike when Congress passes a two term limit.
I understand the problem that as vehicles get more fuel-efficient they use less gallons of gas to tax. So more money is needed. I’d think the logical thing would be to increase the tax on those mega-trucks that cause the most damage to the highways.
Well, our “republican” governor in Pennsylvania thought it was a fine time to raise ours a quarter! These people are out of their minds. Why bother voting republican, really? My future great great grandkids are in debt already for $trillions of “stimulus” for what? Wasn’t that supposedd to fix our bridges and roads and infrastructure? Wasn’t that how it was sold? So why is my republican governor (who also happens to have a republican legislature doing this to us? This is why people give up on the system. I am about there. Had it!
I dont see this going anywhere anytime soon.
Massachusetts passed a bill to index the state gas tax to inflation. Last week a repeal petition got enough signatures to get on the ballot, and the usual suspects are screaming.
