Senate President Mike Miller said Friday that he expects Governor Martin O'Malley to unveil a transportation funding proposal by the time lawmakers go into session Monday night.
Miller has introduced bills to impose a 3% sales tax on gasoline, and another bill to let counties impose their own gasoline tax to fund local road projects.

Where did all the revenue from previous and past gas taxes go...you know, the ones THEY said were for roads and bridges.....stolen!! Borrowed and NOT returned IS stolen! And ALL by Mr O'Thief himself!!
lmao and yet you do and have done nothing to help fix this or solve this... or even offer up solutions...
I have one, get the fucking machine that can pave 3 miles of roadway a day and only takes 4 workers to operate it... you will have savings hand over fist... NOPE, i'm just stupid and get ignored...
Funny how California has and uses it, and their highways are getting fix and cheap too...
NOPE, i'm a idiot who knows nothing... because you all in SBY rather pay 10 people to do a job 4 is only needed...
because maryland is doing great huh?
TAXES used to pay for all of this. Now all they do is pay state workers salary, benefits, pensions, health care, and pensions. So, our "leaders", who spend every dime they take from us for the next 5 generations, keep coming up with new fees, taxes, and surcharges to pay for specific tasks. Keep voting. And keep thinking YOUR guy will be the one to change things. How has THAT worked for ya in the last 20 years? Einstein (I believe) said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result". We need a change all right --- a change of dramatic proportions. How many light poles and trees are within a couple of blocks of the State House? Other than light and shade, they DO have another use....
Joe,
I have noticed you haven't linked to any of the reports on the 5 cent bag tax moving through the Maryland State Legislature.
John
I have not seen any reports of a bag tax for Maryland. I have seen them for DC and Montgomery County but nothing for a statewide tax. If you have a link please email it to Joe. I'm sure he would be happy to share the information.
Taxpayers should demand proof that raising the gas tax will go to roads and bridges,not special interest payouts.
