Forced to buy electric cars by 2035 and they’ll lie about the gas prices going up because of the taxes. $6 gas is greedy corporations taking bigger profits…What do the people that want the tax hike say the common man is going to get for the price hike?
WA doesn’t have an income tax. I’m sure they’ll try to leverage the gas tax to implement an income tax, increase the sales tax again, implement more car registration taxes, or some other myriad of tax proposals to compensate for out of control spending.
The $0.13 tax increase in direct gas tax would be the only portion that goes to infrastructure and road maintenance. The other taxes go to climate activism (group led by former governors daughter) and general funds.
