Mass Gas Tax News – Deval Patrick says No
Patrick says 'no' to gas tax hike March 24, 2010 11:41 AM By Milton J. Valencia, Globe Staff Saying the state is on the verge of an economic recovery, Governor Deval Patrick today dismissed any notion of raising the gas tax and defended the state and national health care reform laws, in the first breakfast forum planned for 2010 gubernatorial candidates. The discussion, hosted by the Associated Industries of Massachusetts and Denterlein Worldwide at the UMass Club in Boston, was at once witty and serious as the governor sought to outline his agenda in hopes of a second term in office, and to explain ...
Raise the Gas Tax
The main reason to raise the gas tax By Eric Grunebaum | May 25, 2009 DESPITE the Massachusetts Senate's passage of a tax package last week, it's clear that funds allocated for transportation - principally from the sales tax - are simply not enough. Moreover, with the rejection of 19- and 11-cent gas tax increase options, what seems to be absent from the debate is the compelling environmental argument for a hike in the gas tax. Looking at the evidence for climate change - and its dire consequences - it's clear that we need to get serious about weaning ourselves from our CO2-emitting, ...

Rep: Gas tax off table, Patrick calls tax timing disrespectful By Jim O’Sullivan / State House News Service | Wednesday, May 20, 2009 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Local Politics A top House lawmaker today called Gov. Deval Patrick’s proposed 19-cent gas tax hike unlikely to receive further attention from the Legislature for the foreseeable future, after the Senate rejected the measure Tuesday, and as legislative officials voiced annoyance with Patrick for trying to play a larger role in deliberations. “I think that the gas tax is off the table for now,” said Rep. Joseph Wagner, House chair of the Transportation Committee. Patrick, who has said he would ...
Debate On Mass Gas Tax
Divisive debate likely on Mass. gas tax hike By DAVID KIBBE dkottaway@aol.com February 09, 2009 BOSTON — Will Massachusetts drivers have to dig deeper in their wallet to pay at the pump in the coming year? New House Speaker Robert DeLeo seems to think so. When pressed in a recent NECN interview, he said it was "a pretty good bet" a gas tax hike would be approved this year. The emotional issue of a gas tax increase — coming on the heels of volatile prices at the pump last summer — will be one of the stickier issues as Statehouse leaders try to shape a major ...

Howie Carr – For Whom the Tax Tolls?
Ask not for whom Deval Patrick tolls...he tolls for we By Howie Carr | Sunday, March 8, 2009 | http://www.bostonherald.com Photo by Angela Rowlings (file) Three weeks from today, the tolls go up. Maybe it’s not too late to stop this rip-off. Everybody’s obsessed with Deval Patrick’s proposed 19-cent gas tax increase, and rightly so. But some pol could make a name for himself trying to halt Deval’s other outrageous highway robbery - the two-step toll increases that start kicking in March 29. Why doesn’t some ambitious solon file a bill to halt the toll hikes until, say, July 1, so we can see ...

Gas Tax – Howie Carr
Gas tax, Pike hike add fuel to fire By Howie Carr | Sunday, February 22, 2009 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Local Politics Gov. Deval Patrick, what part of “no” do you not understand? No to the 19-cent increase in the gas tax. No to the obscene hike in the tolls. I know, the highest state gas tax in America will merely cost the “average” motorist “one large cup of coffee a week.” It’s the least we can do for what Deval calls the infrastructure - the bloated T pensions, the sticky-fingered Mass Pike tolltakers and Troop E’s detail-inflated, six-figure ...
Gas tax: Paying cents to save big bucks
Barry Bluestone and Stephanie Pollack The Boston Globe Gas tax: Paying cents to save big bucks WITH times as tough as they are, it is not surprising that Massachusetts legislators and residents are balking at Governor Patrick's proposal to raise the state gasoline tax. But before deciding whether an additional $8 per month for the typical driver is too expensive, it's worth thinking about how much drivers will pay if the gas tax is not raised. Strange as it may seem, increasing the gas tax by 19 cents a gallon will actually save most Massachusetts drivers more than the higher tax will cost ...

Mass. gas tax seen as boost to NH Courtesy of: Union Leader By DERRICK PERKINS Sunday News Correspondent SALEM – Local station owners are hopeful a proposed 19-cent jump in the Massachusetts gas tax will bring in more customers from across the border, although talk of the tax hike has left Bay State motorists steaming at the pumps. Massachusetts Gov.

Mass drivers gas tax hike
Mass. drivers face 19-cent gas tax hike under plan By GLEN JOHNSON BOSTON The Massachusetts gasoline tax would rise by 19 cents a gallon -- to a nation-leading 42.5 cents -- under a transportation system overhaul Gov. Deval Patrick was scheduled to unveil Friday, top aides said. Combined with the 18.4-cent federal gas tax, the change would leave Bay State drivers paying 60.9 cents in fuel surcharges on every gallon of gas they buy. It could also stave off a proposed doubling of Massachusetts Turnpike tolls slated to take place this spring, assuming the Legislature acts quickly to approve it. Nonetheless, the proposed increase is ...
