Rep. Rice Proposes Gas Tax Hike
A House lawmaker has proposed raising the state’s gas tax by a nickle a gallon, in exchange for eliminating the sales tax on cars. The proposal was offered by Rep. Rex Rice during debate on a bill to use some car sales tax revenue to pay for road improvements.
The House Ways and Means committee adjourned without voting on the proposal. They will take it up again later today.
What another brilliant idea coming from our RINO majority in the State House. After all, it’s not like gas isn’t expensive enough already. Let’s tack on some more to the charge.
