ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Rising gas prices and the need to tackle a tough state budget are creating mounting challenges for Gov. Martin O'Malley's gas tax proposal, lawmakers said Friday, as the governor's chief of staff worked to explain to lawmakers a part of the measure that would delay implementation if gas prices rise by more than 15 percent over the prior year.
Sen. Nathaniel McFadden, D-Baltimore, said the proposal is getting a chilly reception, particularly now that oil prices are approaching last year's highs.
"Twenty-five degrees," the senator said, with a laugh when asked what the temperature in Annapolis is for the proposal now. "No, to be honest with you, it's that cold."

It would make more sense to impeach O'Malley.
They want all these taxes but dont say where the money is going.
What reasons would people in this state continue to vote for democrats?
