Pretty crazy how that there is always an unexpected shutdown whenever another refinery is closed for maintenance.

I have a better idea, get the fuck out of Iran!

Couldn’t agree more! Shalom

I, for one, would rather raise the gas tax.

We voted to touch the stove. Democrats need to let us touch that stove.

The state of Washington has suffered enough from stupid initiatives to starve the state of revenue, to the point where some offices can't even be staffed for basic services like driver's licenses. Tax cuts are an emotional sugar high that leads to crashes and more problems for Dems to clean up.

Stupid stupid stupid.

Plus, as several folks have noted, there's no way of forcing the gas companies to pass the savings along to the customers anyway! So you could end up wiping out billions of dollars in federal *and* state revenue without reducing the price of gas one cent (they'd probably drop prices *somewhat*).

Look how Mamdani is making it sexy. He's out there showing how government and tax dollars serves every day people. The work is already being done. It's probably low hanging fruit to go out and show people a lot of the little things that improve their daily lives.

In ROC we have two seasons: Winter, and Road Work.

CT's is tied to funding education and roads, it would totally crush the smaller towns up state.

I would only agree to a gas tax suspension if it was coupled with a meaningful increase in the marginal tax rates on hugely profitable corporations and uber-wealthy individuals. Otherwise no dice.

They can’t vote for it anyway. Johnson shutdown the house until after the election to prevent Hegseth from being impeached.

The R candidate for MA gov is pushing that now but not saying that MA is lower than 31 other states, and that roads and bridges and intersections are funded by the gas tax. Btw the guy is a multi millionaire who gave $15m to his primary campaign and has given Trump >$1m
