[Update] Yesterday, we reported on the death of the Transportation Climate Initiative (below), another taxation without representation scheme that would milk motorists to fund progressive boutique climate interests.
The Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI) is just another money-laundering scheme to funnel your cash into state coffers while freeing local politicians from having to take the blame for its very real impact on your day-to-day life.
NH law prohibits our joining the Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI). But that protection is one majority away from being gone, and if a Democrat is Governor, they’ll hitch us to this sick horse.
As laboratories go, Massachusetts is a mixed bag. The sort you put over someone’s head before stuffing them into a nondescript van. Inside the bag, along with your face, is a profusion of bad ideas driven by a maddening addiction to spending and higher taxes.

Much like the New Hampshire Democrat desire to cram a 12% tax increase on small business owners in the Granite State (after demanding they close shop), a few movers and shakers behind a regional gas tax hike known as TCI don’t want to wait either.
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.
