you could live in Oklahoma where tomorrow is a vote of the people to increase the gasoline tax another $0.05 a gallon to help pay for the upkeep of state roads & bridges (Bringing the total tax to $0.22 a gallon)...
But dont ya think it is funny how Oil companies are sponsoring the "Yes" vote for this law by stating a vote for "Yes" will 'insure the safety of the children of Oklahoma', I 'wonder why' that would be???
Too bad it is predicted to fail miserably (Thank God!)
Also our Governor Henry is wanting to temporarily repeal the current $0.17 a gallon tax until the end of the year, But the Republicans are saying that would be illegal...Yeah, We dont want those BILLIONAIRE'S oil barons to lose more $$$$ while the rest of us are selling our arms & legs for a gallon.
