    I'll be watching this as well.
    I have it penciled in on the Calander for around the same time.
    Once I know a date for sure I will get out the red Sharpie and put it in for good.

    You ever watch the Red Green show?
    When they are at Possum lodge and you hear the saws echoing through the woods in the background, that's what it sounds like at this GTG...dead serious. With an occasional VERY large rifle report!!
    Like here, at 1:30, only LOUDER! :rofl: :lol:

    What's really sad about that Larry is; All the taxes they collect in (Gas tax) were supposed to go to all that and maintenance, repair and pay checks for people doing the work. I live here as you know at the bottom of the Garden state parkway. When I first got my drivers license, 1978 the standard toll down here was .25 cents and the off ramps were a dime. The same toll now is $2.10. :emptywallet: :hair:

    I took the kids up to Knoebels on Tuesday. I could have taken the Turnpike but a round trip would have been over $80 in tolls. We took the bus up last summer and didnt realize how much the tolls were, it was over $100 for the bus round trip. Which would have been Neshaminy to Poconos (I-80 exit). It's a little over 90 miles exit to exit.

    Electric cars don't pay a gas tax.

    Expect tolls to increase further to make up the shortfall.

    My hunch is they’ll figure out a way to charge a different rate for charging at home to make up for the lack of a gasoline tax.

    Don't worry , they will figure out how to tax that as well ; wait for it.
    I just read an article where they were talking about a tax by mileage , some plug in jiga-mathing" doohicky in the car.

    It's all smoke and mirrors.

    My guess that is why our busses run on natural gas but cars don’t. Fill it up way cheaper in garage at home..

    Homes with Nat gas lines number 1 upgrade is to switch grills from propane to gas.. never have to change tank again:yes:

    Sure seems convenient, “they” treat roads with chemicals cause vehicles to rust(CaCl) then won’t give us inspections stickers; which “ they” issue and charge us for because brakes lines are rusty.

    people that stay still are easier to monitor
