So now have a 10 cents a gallon tax on gas which further increases the gap between what w pay ad the average in the lower 48.  Offset property taxes? Once a politician gets their hands on your money they never let go. Then we have Traini's proposal for the 2 cent (which can increase to 6 without discussion) tax on alcohol.  As someone already observed, tax one item at a tie and the public doesn't get a say.  Personally, next election not one incumbent will get my vote.
