Charlie Sykes just reported that Jim “Craps” Doyle (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale) had his Department of Administration ask the Dem members of the Legislature to separate the 2.5%-of-value gas tax he wants to hoist upon “Big Oil” and his “requirement” that “Big Oil” eat the cost of that tax with the idea of keeping the tax once the courts strike down the “no-pass-through” provision. With gas at anywhere between $2.83 and $3.10 per gallon (like the pumps and unlike just about everybody else, I round that 9/10ths of a penny up), we’re talking about over 7 cents per gallon added onto the 32.9 cents/gallon tax.
The drive to number one continues unabated.
