Gas Tax

“Relying on the gas tax is like relying on cardboard to keep the rain out – the longer you use it the less it works.” — Mary Peters, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, October 2008.

“The gas tax is broken, so any increase in gas tax is just a Band-Aid. It gets you through a very short term. It doesn't even remotely solve the problem” — Adrian Moore, Vice President, Reason, Jan 2009
