I read yesterday that raising the gas tax 4 cents will raise $25-$35 million per year. I think it is a great idea. However, the way the bill is written, only 55% would go directly to road improvements. The remaining % would go to DOT, state police etc.
I would support a 4 cent gas tax increase, but only if 100% went directly to road improvements. Heck, raising the gas price 4 cents doesn't even make people think twice these days.

This is from guy who buys 30 gallons of gas a week. A 4 cent increase would cost me an extra $1.20/week.
