ANNAPOLIS, MD – On January 1, 2015, Marylanders will pay an additional 3.5 cents or more per gallon for gas and diesel as a result of Anthony Brown’s largest-ever motor fuel tax hike which includes automatic increases twice a year for years to come.
“Once again, career politician Lt. Gov. Brown proves to Maryland’s struggling families that he will say and do anything to get elected. Even before he is sworn in, Brown will break his promise to hardworking Marylanders by increasing the gas tax,” charged Hogan. “Gas prices continue to remain high and Marylanders feel real pain every time we fill up at the pump. We can’t afford another tax increase, but Lt. Gov. Brown will turn his back on the rest of us and increase them anyway.”
AAA-Mid Atlantic says Maryland is ranked 25th in the nation for the highest state motor fuel tax rate on gasoline purchases. By the time all of Brown’s gas tax increases go into effect, Maryland will have one of the highest motor fuel taxes in the country.

ReplyDeleteYou can thank Conway and Mathias for this as well.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I fill up in DE or VA.
ReplyDeleteThe real difference in price will probably show up along both borders: VA and DE
ReplyDeleteIt is 3.5 cents January 1st.
Then another few cents in July.
Followed by another few cents in January 2016
Good time to build a gas station in Delmar. Or Selbyville. Or Finwick.
ReplyDeleteOr any number of Virginia towns.
Or any number of Pennsylvania towns.
It's so funny that when I first moved to Maryland I looked at VA's gas prices and was shocked because of more than a dollar and a half difference now there the same or cheaper.
