Why you might not feel the pain of gas tax hike until summer
Monday will be the last day most drivers will be able to readily buy gas below the $2 a gallon in New Jersey as a 23-cent per gallon increase in the state gas tax takes effect on Tuesday. Does this mean the days of cheap Jersey gas are gone? While sub-$2 gas will disappear from most…

No Gas Tax Pain. Nonsense. The gas tax which will now total .55 cents ($.18 fed + .14+.23 NJ) will be felt in the first time you fill up. Filling my 25 gallon tank will cost $13.75 in taxes plus the price of gas.
That is $13.75 I could have put towards my confiscatory property tax or the insane health insurance which will cost my wife and I $29,000 in 2017 (and we are healthy) because there is no competition in NJ.
but do you think the Blue Hersey voters will care and equate it all into turning out incumbents who tacked on this regressive and unfair- to- working-commuters tax increase? Likely not- I have maintained for years that it is either something in our air or water, or we just don’t get out much to better states- we continue to act like the expense of living in NJ is fine/normal: it is not! Our state motto is no longer Liberty and Prosperity- we seem to have changed it to : “I’m from New Jersey, please, tax me some more!”
wish I could blame this on Steve Sweeney and his gang but we have our own traitor named Declan Oscanlon who sold us out.
