[QUOTE="skyhightree1, post: 1207413, member: 13268"] Kenny you are right... :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — We’ve been enjoying low gas prices for weeks now, but with the new year may come a slight up tick in prices across the Commonwealth. Starting Jan. 1, the state’s gas tax jumps from 3.5 percent to 5.1 percent. That will mean an extra 5 cents per gallon of gas. “While nobody likes a tax increase, obviously it comes at a time with falling gas prices, and, in fact, our projections show that prices will continue to [moderately fall] offsetting this tax that consumers will see,” said Aubrey Layne, Virginia Secretary of Transportation. Spearheaded by former Governor Bob McDonnell, the bill to increase the gas tax was passed by state lawmakers last year, only if Congress didn’t pass the Marketplace Fairness Act. That law would have collected taxes from online retailers. “Our transportation needs in the Commonwealth are great, and most of them are fairly large projects with big price tags,” Secretary Layne said. Secretary Layne said the 5-cent gas tax increase is expected to bring in $120 million a year. That money will be used on transit projects, roads and bridges. However, it won’t be enough, so the state will have to reallocate some funds. “Fortunately, because of the reduced amount of gasoline prices, I don’t think their pocket books will be hurt significantly at 5 cents a gallon, but what they should see and expect from the state transportation agencies is that money being put to work,” Secretary Layne said. For some travelers, like Richard Newman from Long Island, the gas prices and even the tax increase is no big deal. He’s paying about a dollar fifteen more in the Big Apple. “It’s unbelievable how cheap it is here. I can’t believe it. I haven’t seen any cheaper. If people want roads fixed, they have to pay the taxes. I pay a lot more tax than that,” Newman said. Secretary Layne said there is a glimmer of good news: if Congress does pass the Marketplace Fairness Act, the 5 percent tax will go back down to 3.5 percent. [/QUOTE]
