So, how does a dummy respond?
“We generated $3 million to $4 million just by not raising it last year,” he said.
In a time when one can pay up to 35 cents a difference in gas prices depending upon where he stops, it is silly to think that 10 cents a gallon difference will make people stop driving.
And had the other tax been in effect that extra $4 million ( at 23 cents tax per gallon) would have given us $5.7 million…Republicans against the gas tax and Valerie Longhurst, just cost the state $1.7 million dollars we otherwise could have easily had…
We all know the lower usage figures were generated when gas was $3.60 a gallon, and the higher volume figures came up was when it was $1.99 a gallon. Only an idiot would think our citizens drove hundreds of thousands of extra miles, because we didn’t put 10 cents on each gallon.
Simply dumb. Wish there was an intelligence test legislators had to pass before putting up their filing fees…… We would all benefit.
