MORE ON THE GAS TAX IDEA



The editorial espousing a twenty for cent per gallon gasoline tax is ridiculous. As a senior citizen that drives mostly local and several road trips with cars that are EPA rated at over 28 miles per gallon I foresee the devastating increase in gasoline taxes. Between doctors, gymnasium, shopping etc., the cost will be over $200 per year.

What we need is a state that finds a method to reduce our cost per-mile of road maintenance. The State of NJ is ranked 48 most expensive among the fifty states. The two states where the cost of maintenance per mile are Hawaii and Alaska.
 What is needed is a wood-shed where our governor could take the Transportation Commissioner.  If this is not enough Christie should be taken to the wood shed.

Look at the methods of competitively bidding. Look at the specifications for unnecessary restrictions. And look at the cost of police being on site during the work. Watch this last one and see how many police are actually watching and not talking to a member of the work crew. What are they talking about,-The game last night, or the girls on dancing with the Stars?
