Annapolis - "Two outcomes of the Governor's legislative agenda is to make gasoline and electricity more expensive. We have now seen 36 consecutive tax, fee and toll increases that will remove $3.1 billion out of the pockets of struggling Marylander's per year, with these motor fuel taxes and the additional fees required of utility customers to support offshore wind.
"Instead of developing a coherent transportation policy, our top elected officials took the easy way out by adding yet more of a tax burden to a state that has faced so many in recent years. They choreographed the proposal's original announcement, committee hearings and final votes to take place on late Fridays and in the evenings to avoid news coverage in the waning days of this legislative session. This speaks volumes about just how unpopular more taxes are, and this may push Maryland to the tipping point. Taxpayers have finally had enough."

I will just start buying gas for my vehicles in Delaware.
The day this goes tax becomes active I will buy all my gas in Delaware even if it costs me to drive there to buy it, I would rather my tax dollar go to a state that puts it to use where it belongs, road maintenance and not as general funds for pet projects!!
