My husband and I live on a fixed income, one that cannot absorb a $1.00 increase in gas. We do not have the infrastructure to move away from gas driven vehicles, even if we wanted to. You govern a state that is not 100% left and you need to consider the fact that almost half of the state is conservative and this is an election year. We do not need to belong to any organization that increase the costs in our daily life without having any direct improvement in the environment, by the way, the US is one of the cleanest countries in the world. Stop this crazy action.	-

It will be a financial burden to drivers of every financial class, anyone who purchases any form of goods that will be impacted by shipping costs, etc., at a time when trickle down tax increases from the federal government are also being planned. None of these cost increases are economically sound.	-

Taxing diesel more will not only increase the fuel tax, but our food supply, as well as everything else being transported by the trucking industry. Electric vehicle are way out of the reach of the average citizen, especially us folks living on a fixed income. Climate has been changing for millions of years, and will continue to do so.	-

This is a pivotal moment in our history - we need to act decisively now to cut carbon emissions or the results will be cataclysmic - the impacts of climate change are already felt around the world. Volunteers with 350VT and other climate justice organizations are working steadily to address the challenge of transportation, Vermont's most carbon intensive sector. The TCI provides an excellent structure for reducing emissions while providing funding for a transportation infrastructure that reflects the need for a radical reduction in greenhouse gasses. As a psychologist working primarily with the next generation, I know firsthand young people's significant concerns about the health of our planet. For that reason alone investment in TCI is a winning collaboration to help preserve what we can of the natural world and its myriad benefits to earth's inhabitants.	-

This would increase gas taxes in order to pay for unfair corporate welfare handouts for favored industries. It's not responsible public policy, and the citizens of Virginia should not be forced to pay for corporate welfare, especially as our economy struggles to recover after Covid-19.	-
