Post subject: | Gas tax for Lake County |
Gasoline prices not high enough for you? Well Sen. Lonnie Randolph has the cure for you. He has authored a bill allowing the county to add a 1% tax to the price of a gallon of gas. As of today, that would be an increase of 3 cents. Of course, that would go up as the price oif gas goes up. Fireworks would be subjected to the same 1%. So where would this money go? To the communities where it was collected, who put up with all the traffic and hubub those gas stations bring? That would be a huge windfall for Hammond, where a lot of Illinois residents buy gas. But no, Randolph's bill would have the money distributed to all LC communities based on population. Wonder why I haven't seen anything in the paper about this bill? Here's the link if you want to see it for yourself. I'm sending a message to Randolph telling him just what I think of this, and I hope you do too: http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/201 ... 414.1.html |

What's that mean? I'm guessing it means something like "That sucks." |

Well I still don't know what you are talking about, but I'm surprised people don't seem to care about this new tax. I for one don't need higher gas prices! |
