This reinforces the argument we all have made against using a Cigar tax to fund SCHIP - that higher taxes will reduce sales and means less taxes being collected.

That just makes me so mad.

I could rant for hours.

We have good men and women fighting and dying for us, and they can come home to that? Being hugely punished when they need to take a late night TP run.

I'm just getting really depressed anytime I read the news.

Oregon is not alone. Congress has prepared a proposal to increase federal gas tax, as has the California senate (and I'm sure most other states). If both the CA and FED taxes get through, I'll be paying some .30/gal more in gas taxes. Apparently, this is what we the people want, since "we" elected these clowns...:-) With one party in control, who will stand in their way?
