HARRISBURG – Gov. Tom Corbett is preparing to unveil a transportation plan funded primarily by nearly $2 billion a year in new taxes on gas stations, sources familiar with the plan told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The Republican governor, who pledged not to raise taxes when he ran for office, will announce the fine points of the long-awaited initiative next week, the sources told the AP on the condition they not be identified.

So it would seem because the economy has improved, albeit very little, and we all spent a few extra dollars on Christmas presents – GREEN LIGHT – it’s okay a gouge us at the gas pump. Some mumbling about commodities, the dollar is worthless, gas supplies are good and all that rot. So bend over America!
Gas prices have risen nationally, 16 cents over last month and 46 cents over last year! The price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas is $3.05 (national average).
Many people are only doing absolutely necessary driving, me included! This is highway robbery! Time for another boycott! Seems if we don’t buy anything, the price of gasoline will come back down following this logic!
Great way to stimulate the economy, not!
