Connecticut’s Department of Revenue Services this week announced a coming tax hike on diesel fuel, resulting in a nine cent increase.

The current tax in the state is 40.1 cents on diesel fuel, but it will increase to 49.2 cents per gallon in about two weeks, beginning July 1.

Connecticut is retarded

[Noumenon]

Let’s go Connecticut!

[Shady]

I hope you are growing your own food and don’t work at a truck stop in CT.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Well, that’s dumb.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Coonecticut is just trying to catch up the European countries that tax the hell out of gasoline and diesel.

I guess one could call it ‘virtue signaling’.

“I hope you are growing your own food and don’t work at a truck stop in CT.”

I’d say that if I was a driver I’d boycott deliveries to Connecticutt, and I wouldn’t put it past truckers to pull something like that on a large scale, but the leftists in Canada proved recently that they are fully capable of going full fascist, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see drivers jailed over “public health and safety” charges.

[Col Frank Slade]

This is a new level of dumb even for CT.

[hinckley buzzard]

Brilliant. Don’t like the increase in food prices? Watch this.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

What possible explanation could justify this?

CT politicians must be feeling the pinch of rising inflation as we are.

[cowboyusa]

That should put the Governor’s race within reach.

[econjack]

I wonder if those tax increases will be pushed back onto consumers. Joe, you are a complete idiot.

[John 3_19-21]

Heard they temporarily lifted some of the tax on gasoline.

This must be their brilliant plan to recoup the "lost" revenue?

[cgbg]

The good thing about CT is that we are so tiny that trucks can easily avoid filling up here.

They will lose revenue with this stunt.

[T.B. Yoits]

Connecticut, like other failed states, is reduced to taxing the only entities that can pay.

[dainbramaged]

$6.49 per gallon here in South Puget Sound.

[Tymesup]

Connecticut suspended the state tax through November 30, 2022. Hmm, that’s till after the election.

Be a real shame if trucks could no longer afford to deliver groceries to the state.
