Potts has got to be out of his mind.......increase the gasoline tax????? with the price of gasoline as high as it is now, what is wrong with that man?
And I won't even get into the regressivity of gas taxes, particularly for those who live in rural areas where there is no choice for transportation other than driving.
(I can't believe I am about to say this, but) kaine does make a good point about not diverting funds out of the transportation trust fund.
I like Kilgore's idea of regional transportation authorities, but after the defeats of tax referenda in both NoVA and hampton Roads, I wonder just how well that would work if it is only to be left up to the voters to approve any tax/fee/rate increases.
I don't think I'm on your VA ping list - please add me.
Any word on Mud?
