Before you squawk, I’ve advocated for ending the state’s gasoline tax. Gone. I got pushback from Libertarians and Republicans, but I’m still a fan of the idea. Having said that, there is a growing siren song in some states for mileage taxes.

NH Proposes Gas Tax Holiday for Residents So, Who Exactly Do You Mean When You Say ‘Resident’?
Today, the NH House Finance Committee will hold a hearing on a bill with an amendment. I can’t find either, but I don’t need them.
NH Formally Declines to Foist a Massive Regional Gas Tax on Struggling Granite Staters
Whatever our thoughts may be about Chris Sununu regarding Emergency orders (not good, if you didn’t notice), he got this one right. New Hampshire, along with Maine, has opted not to sign on to the Transportation Climate Initiative memorandum of understanding.
Democrats Destroy Everything They Touch and Sometimes Republicans Help Them.
2019-2020 BC (Before COVID) I cut down a small forest of digital trees to make fun of the Transportation Climate Initiative. That’s a fancy name for a money-laundering scheme with taxes raised by folks you didn’t elect and could not punish for increasing levies.
Then What Do You Do? Well, if You Are a Democrat You Raise Taxes
The thinking goes that if you tax something, you’ll get less of it. But that’s not why Democrat’s tax things. Sure, they say that, like with smoking, but that’s a lie. What they want is your money and more of it.
Danger Will Robinson: New TCI Talking Point Begins With “Once in a Generation Opportunity…”
The latest media broadside on the terrible awful massive gas tax hike calling itself a “Climate Initiative” is labeling it a “once in a generation opportunity.” To what, kill jobs, and screw the heck out of low-income people and participating state economies? No, silly.
Another Nail in the TCI Coffin: Report Says Gas Tax Hike Could Be 53% Higher Than Advertised
There are plenty of reasons to prevent elected officials from handing off taxing powers to unelected bureaucrats. But that’s what the Proposed Transportation Climate Initiative does. A Tax on motor fuels whose estimated hike, according to new research will be much higher than advertised.
‘Virginia is for Behavior Modification’ as Dems Raise Gas Tax “to Keep People Home”
Virginia is reaping a whirlwind of pain as a result of letting Democrats take complete control of State Government. And while the anti-gun bills (and anti-speech bills) get most of the attention, if you elect Democrats, you will end up with higher taxes. Because they know what’s good for you.
Democrat Gov. Lied About Gas Taxes – Diverts them to Pet Priority
Anyone who tells you that this or that tax will be dedicated to some specific purpose is lying to you. They know, as well as anyone that the legislature that proposes the taking or some future cabal of elected highway robbers, will use the money for whatever pleases them.
Now Virginia (Yes Virginia) Is Giving the TCI Gas-Tax the Side – Eye
The Transportation Climate Initiative is like a pretty girl who suddenly can’t get a date. Or a pretty boy, or boy-girl, or girl boy, genderless penguin, Trans-Whale Horseshoe crab, or whatever. Sold as the darling of the ball TCI finds itself facing rejected yet again.
So kids, what did we learn from Thursday’s House Session (02/13/20)?
We learned that the Legislature can come together to honor our fallen heroes. The New Hampshire Senate voted, 24-0, to adopt a joint resolution to grant New Hampshire Medal of Honor to Air Force Capt. Ryan S. Phaneuf of Hudson who died in an Afghanistan plane crash last month. The New Hampshire House unanimously voted … Read more
TCI is a “poorly conceived, fundamentally regressive, and economically damaging proposal”
TCI, the Transportation Climate Initiative, has taken some body blows of late. But it’s still upright and in need of a knockout punch. A good blow to the jaw, which this recent letter by the Heartland Institute may help deliver.
Road Usage Fee – an ‘Un’Gas Tax
For decades we have been told to reduce our carbon footprint, reduce emissions, and be better stewards of the environment. It was so important, we were told, that the Government actually subsidized some of these goals. Hybrid cars and high efficiency vehicles (better MPG) were touted as the way forward – and the government would … Read more
NH Gov. Chris Sununu Say No to TCI or Embracing any Sort of Regional Gas Tax
As Skip noted earlier today, we’ve got a lot of coverage on the proposed Transportation Climate Initiative. Summed up, “It’s a Trap.” An abrogation of taxing power and electoral accountability to distant climate ministers you cannot vote out of office. But we have good news. Gov. Chris Sununu says, no way.
What the unaccountable TCI bureaucrats will do to your fillup at the gas station
Steve has been all over this topic of having yet another gas tax applied to NH residents – this time, like the tax on our electricity (e.g., RGGI), it will be raised by out of state entities:
Help Wanted: The Massive Gas Tax Proposal Rollout Is Today – We Need People to Watch the Webinar
If you missed it, a cabal of Northeastern states wants to create a bit of separation between voters and taxing authority. Give the power to unelected bureaucrats whom you cannot vote out of office. It’s called the Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI), and there’s an update (program launch) Webinar Today!
Massachusetts Needs New Hampshire For Gas Tax Scam to Work
Massachusetts has a problem. Well, a new problem. They desperately want to use a proposed regional theft scheme to jack up gas prices. In California, the same scam has driven gas over 4.00/gallon. But to get there, they can’t go it alone and New Hampshire buying in isn’t a given.
NH Dems Drool as Mass Prepares to Release ‘Gas Tax’ Kraken!
Looking for the perfect gift to give your Democrat legislator this holiday season? A gas tax increase makes a great gift that keeps on giving. But how about two of them?
