Phased increase may be part of transportation package
The cost of driving a vehicle may be heading up for Maryland motorists.
The General Assembly should consider raising vehicle titling and registration fees and phasing in a 15 cents per gallon gasoline tax hike to fund transportation projects, a governor's blue ribbon commission tentatively decided during a meeting Tuesday in Annapolis.
The commission will draft its final recommendations Oct. 25 and send them to Gov. Martin O'Malley by Nov. 1. While the proposal will be nonbinding, it could form the centerpiece for an administration-backed plan to increase transportation funding

i just got the letter to renew my tags for my jeep
its $180, and they want another 50% to $270?
so instead of the BRIDGE TOLL, we ALL get $0.15 PER GALLON. That is 3.00 dollars per fill up on 20 gallon tank - ALL BECAUSE MARTIN O'MALLEY raided the Transportation Fund in order to increase spending. Spending on projects that help him get re-elected. Hey, Baltimorons and the rest of you Democrat Voting people, STOP voting for liberal Governors.
.15 cent hike ? well hell, why not .50 or .75 cents ???
i'd like to see a fat tax.
Another TAX increase but no spending cuts.
Where's the pitchforks and torches?
It seems to me that our legislators have created most of the financial problems in government, why do we have to bail them out? We are taxed to the extreme now and all these increases will accomplish is a further decline in our economy and standard of living. I am sure if we add all the taxes and "fees" we pay our overall burden to the various governments that "serve" us would be over 50%. Enough is enough, we have to live within our means so should state, local, and federal governments.

Not hard to find. But you have to get off the couch.
Not a problem. I live in Delmar Md. I'll go to the Delaware side to buy my gas. If I want a pack of smokes, I go to the Delaware side, 1$ cheaper.
A very good mechanic told me a LONG time ago to NOT buy my gas in Delaware. The gas is not as regulated as it is in Maryland and will cost drivers big money down the road in repairs. I buy almost all of my gas in Maryland even though I live in Delaware.
