Here Comes the Next Tax Hike To Rush Through the General Assembly
The General Assembly plans to introduce the 6-year road plan Friday with provisions to raise the gas tax four cents a gallon.
In theory the gas tax is indexed to the wholesale price of gasoline, so that if the price of gasoline goes up, then the tax rises a percentage as well, and if the price goes down, so does the tax.
In practice, the legislature locks in every increase and the tax never goes down.
So it goes. Another week of legislating, another tax hike.
What are you going to do about it? We'll have comments up soon enough, but for now email me.
What was it Reagan said? "The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program."
