Robert Lang WBAL: O'Malley Says Gas Tax, Other Increases Part Of Agenda In 2012

O'Malley Says Gas Tax, Other Increases Part Of Agenda In 2012


Thursday, December 29, 2011

Robert Lang in Annapolis and Associated Press

Governor Martin O'Malley says lawmakers in 2012 will have to have the "courage" to consider tax hikes as well as spending cuts, and that includes an increase in the state's gasoline tax.

At a briefing for reporters in Annapolis today, O'Malley said lawmakers have already cut $6.8-billion in spending over the last four years.

He says more money is needed for road and bridge projects.

[…]

He notes that the state's 23.5-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax was set in 1992 when gasoline was selling for more than $1.10 a gallon. Regular now sells for more than $3 a gallon. He notes that gas tax revenue has not kept up with rising costs of infrastructure projects.

[…]

Earlier this year, a commission recommended a 15-cent-a-gallon increase in the gas tax over three years.

The governor also says he may seek an increase in the so called "flush tax" on septic systems, and plans to pursue legislation to restrict new septic systems… http://www.wbal.com/article/84939/2/template-story/OMalley-Says-Gas-Tax-Other-Increases-Part-Of-Agenda-In-2012
