Putting an additional tax on fuel for vehicles and heating is NOT going to make a difference. The only difference is the amount of tax that is collected, that would not help the citizens of will only line the pockets of the state government. Please use common sense Govenor Mills and DO sign up for this horrible Transportation and Climate Initiative.	-

We cannot control the climate any more than we can control light and darkness daily. Until China and India change their polluting habits, leave us alone. Taxing my gas more which I use TO GET TO WORK is a joke, and a bad one at that. Here's an idea, go get real jobs and leave us WORKING tax paying citizens alone.	-

My vote is no gas tax. There are plenty of ways to save $ in this state, like removing officials' commuting fuel reimbursement. That would save millions. The average person pays for their own gas. Lawmakers should too.	-

All you will do if you raise gas taxes will be to hurt people and businesses. Show me where an increase in gas taxes will make a positive affect on global warming and not hurt us financially and I’ll be on noard	-
