One of the most liberal states in the union wants to eff the residents again. Go figure.
The Maryland House of Delegates voted 76 to 63 Friday to raise taxes on gas to help replenish a state transportation fund that is rapidly running out of money for highway construction and long-planned mass-transit projects.
Under the bill, a priority for Gov. Martin O’Malley (D), motorists could expect to pay roughly an additional 13 to 20 cents a gallon of gas by mid-2016, according to legislative analysts. The higher gas taxes would be phased in over several years, with the first increase of about 4 cents a gallon coming in July.
