Gas Tax Increase Email (AKA Holding My Tongue)

[Aggie_Ama]

They are starting a commuter line near my house, I am curious about it because it is an odd thing for Texas. I would like to use it myself if it will be practical, give me an excuse to buy a folder.

I hate smoking with a passion so everytime the discuss increasing the tax again I applaud it loudly. Doesn't make my chimney brother happy but I hope one day he will see he is killing himself physically and financially and quit. Different soapbox.

Our state's conundrum? Our transit authority is funded more than 40% not by ridership or fares but by gas tax.

So that means...

if you stop driving and start taking the bus to save money on gas, there's a distinct and realistic possibility that you are negatively impacting the buses, which means they might cut your line.

Crazy.
