Walker considering a 15% boost in the gas tax

By James Rowen Nov. 10, 2012

The Madison Capital Times is reporting that adding five cents in taxes to the cost of a gallon of gas in Wisconsin is among the options nearing final consideration by the Walker-no-new-taxes-administration. We're already a high-gas-tax state at almost 33 cents-a-gallon, data show. Most states have lower taxes. A nickel would amount to a 15% tax boost.

Among the other new-revenue options: toll roads and even fees from the owners of hybrid vehicles; their efficient vehicles are selfishly robbing the transportation fund and road-builders' bottom lines of gas tax payments to which the government.road-builder complex feels entitled.

    How about you quit putting the gas tax revenue into the general fund and actually use it for what it was collected for?

    Me? I have nothing to do with how taxes are used, but I agree they ought to be used as promised. We spend too much and have to start raiding other funds to cover the lack.
