TRENTON — Now that New Jersey’s new 23-cent gas tax increase is on the books, a ballot question asking voters to dedicate the billions of dollars in new revenue to transportation projects is suddenly getting lots of attention.
The once-virtually uncontested question that passed the Legislature with just one “no” vote has become a flashpoint in the fight over the new tax, which hit gas stations Tuesday.
Now supporters of the ballot question are worried voters angry over the higher gas tax will reject the measure.
