New gas tax goes into effect today

Recommended Posts

Over 50 cents a gallon just in state fuel taxes now...and as I recall, NJ puts their gas tax revenue into the general fund, rather than earmark it for road repairs, as it should be.

They can raise it every October 1st based on the revenue shortfall from the tax, so with less people driving, not working, and leaving this state is the reason for the shortfall, tax goes up.

Expect another increase next year. Especially if they keep things locked down

People are struggling already, what better time to raise taxes.

They keep raising taxes, forcing people to flee, reducing the population, netting less tax revenue which then results in more tax increases...

Maybe cut spending?

If people could easily flee the state, what percentage of the NJ population do you guys think would simply leave?

I would guess that 70% of the people would get up and leave NJ tomorrow if it was easy to do so.

Steve Sweeney will be our next Governor unless a really charismatic and qualified Republican runs and rides the Trump wave!

Yup.  He wanted it bad, but the North Jersey contingent wanted Murph as guv to push him onto the national stage. Murph has failed miserably, so their current hope is for a Biden win and a cabinet position for Murph; which clears the way for Sweeney in 21.

Democrats will burn a state to the ground before they make meaningful spending cuts.

Murphy had a very legitimate excuse to defer or reduce the state pension contribution this year, instead he illegally borrowed $4.9 Billion and forked it over to the fund. Then rammed through the millionaires tax and allowed the gas tax to jump 10% and Parkway tolls to increase..
