Former Gov. Jack Markell’s capital proposal called for spending $555.3 million in the upcoming fiscal year, with that sum almost evenly divided between construction projects and the Department of Transportation’s budget.
Monday included brief discussions on the gasoline tax, which is currently 23 cents per gallon. Chief Justice Leo Strine urged lawmakers to increase it, and committee co-chair Sen. Dave Sokola, D-Newark, later noted the tax is lower than in surrounding states.

Lower is a REASON to raise gas tax rates? People migrated to DE because of lower taxes. People need to wake up and clean the liberals out of northern Delaware.
Wonder how much to bail out casinos this year.
Mr. Strine should go back to chasing ambulances if his current high income on the bench isn't satisfying him!
Takes real brass to advocate picking the pocket of the regular folk in order to pad his lifestyle. Hope Delaware has a chance to turn him out at the ballot box.
Keywords for politicians TAX that is all i here, remember why we had a revaluation against England , That is addressed to you politicians!
If he's so rich that he wants to pay more in gas taxes, let him. We LEFT Maryland to come to Delaware because it has Lower Taxes. I spent too many years of my Life paying High Taxes to the thieves in Annapolis. Good riddance!
