11/4/2019	Charles	Cormier	None	Ft Fairfield	Maine	An increase in gas taxes will in turn increase the cost of transportation and goods to the consumer. This will hurt those of us on a fixed or minimal income. An increase in gas taxes will in turn increase the cost of transportation and goods to the consumer.

From the behind the scenes scheming to keep this from public vote, to the massive economic toll it will take on everyone and everything in the state and beyond. Raising fuel costs increases the costs not just of the fuel itself, but of all items that must be grown, packed, shipped, kept warm or cold and so on. Further this 'plan' has no defined budget, goals or metrics, and as such it will just be another sink hole of money. Shame on you polititions!	-

I completely disagree with methods of taxes and fees imposed because a group of think tank activists believe they know more than any individual. This is a scam.	-

The affordability argument from Governor Scott is a blindered understanding of the financial and human trauma that will result from inaction on the climate. TCI helps bring our energy money home by reinvesting it in green local alternatives and provides the financial wherewithal to address our biggest challenge, transportation. That it is a multi-state initiative means it will be of significant impact and will put VT in line with all our neighbors, except Governor Sununu. Pass this now.	-

We must develop the political will required to make mass transit a viable option for regional transportation solutions that also encourage movement towards a healthier environment and a more efficient transportation system as a whole.	-

Specifically, there should be a greater than 35% increase in the minimum investment in overburdened communities, a cap of at least 25% on carbon emissions by 2032, and investments in better sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, and high quality public transit. Thank you for your time.	-

Most transportation systems being used is outdated and not eco-friendly. As a country, we must replace our old transportation systems with low carbon emission vehicles, trains, planes, trucks, etc. This must be done now to prevent any more devastating effects to our climate. We must not wait to do this, everyone's lives depend on it.	-
