WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
If you are from WA, I'm sure you know that Olympia decided that having the 7th highest gas tax in the nation just wasn't good enough and decided to go for number 1 by passing a 9.5 cent per gallon gas tax - something we voted down in when we voted overwhelmingly NO on R51 in 2002, but they still jammed down a 5 cent per gallon tax increase in 2003 - w/out a vote of the people. Now they want another 9.5? That is 14.5 in two years! if you are sick of Olympia craming tax hikes that won't even pay to complete a single project KVI has decided to get a petition together to repeal the gas tax - they need seed money and volunteers to get the initiative on the ballot - Anything you can do - they need to raise $25,000 by Friday to get the ball rolling - if everyone who listens to KVI sent in $5.00 they would have enough to run the entire campaign... You can go to NO NEW GAS TAX
This is something John Carlson and Kirby Wilber are putting together - you can verify this at KVI's Website Cut and paste this post and email it to anyone you know who lives in Washington State. send a check to: No new gas tax 218 main street #412 Kirkland 98033 |

They need to put up toll booths up on the westside from marysville to olypmia then they will be able to pay for there road projects. If someone wants to live on a damn island in the ocean why should I have to pay more for gas so he can still ride his damn ferry. If they want to live out there make those people pay out the butt for living out there. Man that eats me up. I will gladly pay a toll for the one time a year or even that if I have to cross that damn floating bridge to or pay a toll for the 10 or less times I travel to the west side for meetings. When I was in florida a few weeks ago it was about 15 miles from airport to hotel. In that span we hit 3 toll booths. They could pay for alot of roads.
My rant is over now. |
RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
The other thing they could do would be to pass a legitimate Performance Audits bill that would expose and eliminate the waste that is running rampant in dang near every office over here. If you cut the waste, there will be more of our money left to do the things that we are already taxed out the butt to cover now. This is like having open heart surgery and closing the chest up with a bandaid. It just won't get it done. The next thing you can count on is a state income tax. Go ahead and grab the KY cause it's coming unless we get Temporary Gov. Gregoire out of there.[:@]

Look at what the queen has signed already most of it benifits, or I should say is the reward to the counties that changed the election in her favor. It's pay back time and we're going to pay for it.

We just need to pick two new canadates and vote again. We also need to clean out the fishey- game dept.
 If it were up to me I would I would lower taxes, get rid of to illegal aliens, that would get rid of a lot of wasted tax money!  |

RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
I'm all for toll booths. If it was good enough for the second Tacoma Narrows bridge, it should be good enough for the other projects that our Democratic Bozo's want to proceed with!
Tell you what, it really burns me what our state's legislator (or should I say King County's legislator that resides in Olympia) plans on doing with the tax raise. They want to repair the 520 bridge, replace the Alaska Way Viaduct, and improve I-405. All of these are in Seattle/King County. True, they threw a bone to Pierce county by funding a couple of meaningless projects, but if I lived in Eastern Washington, I'd be furious! They too have to pay the gas tax and what do they get out of it? They aren't going to use any of these projects. I'll hardly drive on the 520, 405 or Alaska Way. For as little as I do, I'd rather pay a toll than continuously fund the projects every time I fill up my tank! Like I said, they forced toll booths on the new Narrows bridge. They should do the same for King County! |

RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
Yelm was probably using the old math. This new Olympia math comes up with whatever figures suit their needs. It's the same $#!+, different day. They don't think we are smart enough to do their math, or remember anything.

RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
Ya, you're right...they hate it when some of us listen to what they say and think on our own instead of the " Go with the herd" mentality.

RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
I just feel bad for the folks from eastern wa who have to pay for the alaska way viaduct tunnel so that property values in downtown seattle can go up. I was kind of waiting for the whole Fing thing to come crashing down in the next earthquake so everyone could sue the state and bankrupt it so we could just start over.

RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
I was in WA the other day and waited until I got back to Idaho to buy gas. I won't be buying gas there anymore.

Anyone see where our lawmakers and governor get a pay raise this year??

RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
Saw that on the news this morning. She's trying to do all she can just incase she gets the boot. I've never seen bills get through the houses so fast and on the Gov.'s desk for signing as I have this yr.

RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
Just thought I'd 'ttt' this one since we now know we are STUCK with the wench for the next 3 1/2 years,and a few might be p-O'd enough to think harder about doin' something about the Gas tax. Please let our next senator elect have balls!!!

RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
Petitions are NOW out there and available to sign. They must get at least 212,000 signatures by July 8........if anyone cares.
|
RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
As WANWTF said in the original post, if you are interested in helping out with a signature or gathering signatures, go to www.nonewgastax.com to get more info. This is the only way to stick it to them for sticking it to us on the gas tax, the election, and the removal of the 2/3 vote requirement. We need to repeal this thing, at least until they can get the Performance Audits Initiative (I-900) passed. They don't need any more money until they can figure out how to use what we give them a little more wisely.

RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
We signed the petition yesterday. Hootenany, if your out there, there is a copy at Junction center on hiway 92, if you make it down that way. Although they should be available at ALL fuel stops!!

RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
Signed it myself the other day, but I had to fight them off on the anti smoking one. What will they
 target next after that one? I don't smoke but I shouldn't be able to dictate what any of the rest of you do,right??? I was going to sign the "performance audits" one.....until they stuck the other one in my face! |
RE: WA 9.5 Cent per Gallon Gas tax
Better fill up before midnight tonight. Also if you smoke, better stock up. I just love our new Gov.
