The state Legislature on Thursday will begin to consider bills that would raise taxes on gasoline by 23 cents a gallon while reducing or eliminating taxes on estates and some income, a deal that has support and opposition cross party lines. Samantha Marcus, NJ.com Read more
Here’s what we all need to know: The TTF has been a cesspool of waste and inefficiency. Sarlo and Sweeney use the TTF to buy union votes from their pals like Sanzari. It costs NJ state taxpayers $2.0 million per mile of state road, 12X the nation average and 3X the next highest state. Every other state in the country does it for considerably less, with MA next highest under $700,000 per mile. The funding for state roads is there from current gas taxes, bridge & tunnel tolls and commuter pass taxes. All Trenton needs to do is renew the funding on Juky 1st, but this should only come after an independent audit of the current TTF. Until then, not a penny more in gas taxes should be raised.
If we had a us senator that did his job, he would bring home $$$ from Washington.
Booker and Mendez are just interested in kissing obomas ass
Thank God gasoline prices have dropped… the evil corporations will be taking less of your money.

Instead the government can take your money to waste or spend in direct opposition to your beliefs and desires.
