California leads the way, again. We’re scheduled for a state increase of 12c by next year.

The republican led house and senate here in Washington have been pushing hard for the 12 cent gas tax ($1 Billion/ annually) for the last two years. the only reason it hasn’t gotten through is that the public and most of the elected are fed up with WSDOT mismanagement since 95% of this money would go to them for their mega projects and highway repairs. The local agencies (cities and counties) would only get about 5% of this money.

I have attended numerous public hearings on this matter and WSDOT is allowed to testify how broke they are and how badly they need this money although 90% of their system is rated as excellent!

In Pennsylvania, Republican governor Corbett and the Republican-controlled legislature just passed a .28 per gallon gas tax.

$6.00 gas, here we come!
