Gas Tax Increase Rumblings...

[motordavid]

And, as you all know, when the "geniuses" toss up the trial balloon,
the tax increases are not far from reality. A dime-ish on gas and
more on diesel, with prodding for the states to tack on their mispent
additional dough.

..."In a report expected in late January, members of the infrastructure financing commission
say they will urge Congress to raise the gas tax by 10 cents a gallon and the diesel tax
by about 12 cents to 15 cents a gallon. At the same time, the commission will recommend
tying the fuel tax rates to inflation.

The commission will also recommend that states raise their fuel taxes and make greater
use of toll roads and fees for rush-hour driving."
