We urge you to design a regional program that prioritizes the needs of communities overburdened with pollution and underserved in mobility options. We also need a community-led air monitoring program especially in the pollution hot spots to make sure we know about the status of air quality and what kinds of pollutants need to be addressed.

My students are always shocked to see the dramatic increase in carbon emissions since industrialization began but especially in the past decade. The evidence is quite clear. The scientific data released by NOAA continually shows that previous year is our warmest year on record. This is only due to the human impact on our planet. |

Community necessity, or personal/mileage? What are your plans? |

Adding extra taxes to gasoline and Diesel isn't going to make any difference for the people who can afford to drive there still going to drive but they're going to make sacrifices and other aspects of their life less vacation maybe they won't be able to take the road trip to visit friends and family or they won't be able to take a vacation or trip they desperately need for their mental health I'm 30 years old I work at a pizza place we offer delivery out on the road my drivers only get 5.50 per hour just like a waitress would what's going to happen to them when they can't afford to keep gas in your vehicle because the consumer can't afford to tip because we've had to raise prices to combat this tax every retail outfit any company that relies on trucks bringing their products to them will have to increase prices to make up for the difference in the taxes all of this already trickles down so people who are struggling to make ends meet as it is it doesn't matter how much the United States does to combat climate change will China's out there running rampid with no regulations or a care in the world to come back there impact on climate change they are the heaviest pouliting and country in existence. As a single parent working full-time I'm already struggling to make ends meet as it is I don't know what I'm going to do if this passes and I can't afford to get my son downstate for doctor's appointments he may need this isn't a problem for the people already on state help or receiving any kind of welfare because their costs get passed back onto me the regular average working man so now I have to struggle more and give up more just some more of my money can go to help somebody else that's probably capable of working but doesn't because Janet Mills allows a lot of leniency in slack when it comes to welfare in this state if you want to do something about climate change there's plenty that can be done without targeting the average working American we could be more efficient and what we do with our garbage there are alternative types of fuel that we could invest in do more research on that would help curb this problem hydrogen comes to mind what's only admits water as a by-product for running an automobile there is so much that could be done without charging the average person more money we've tired it on cigarettes and alcohol but no matter how much taxes increase or the prices raise people still buy them and that's not even necessarily something they need for everyday life while driving an automobile might a staple to their life and surviving their livelihood 10000 words simply isn't enough to stress how unnecessary and negatively this is going to impact characters is it enough to educate Janet Mills all alternatives and better solutions than a tax increase we've been raising prices ever since the monetary system has been created does that stop people from buying things no it doesn't it just makes them reprioritize and causes more problems look at the health industry the pharmaceutical industry there are people out there that can't afford the medicine they need to live and we're talkin about raising taxes on gas and Diesel maybe Janet Mills needs to get her priorities set straight because of a tax increase in gasoline and Diesel is more important then having residence homeless residents that can't afford their medicine that ignore going to the hospital because they can't afford it then she truly is lost and has no place being anywhere as a political figure |

Any legislator who supports this proposal and votes in favor of it will certainly lose my support and vote. Maine is already taxed beyond anything that makes sense! More taxes are NOT the answer, it's the easy answer for legislators who lack big picture thinking! |

And that was a job in itself, now its my turn to slow down and just work one job and the governor wants to tax me more its absurd half of young adult in this state don't work or can't work so its up to my generation to put into to city, state and federal tax and now you want more taxes very unfair. Never in my life have I worked in a job that pays me more than 42,000 a year how do you propose I live with this income and ontop of more taxes. Find another way. |

Massachusetts voted this tax down five years ago. The state does not need more taxes. We already pay high taxes in this state. This will hurt poor people. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. I hope everyone who is promoting this gets voted out of office. |

These increases will hurt many aspects to business and for independent contractor will be devastating. I do not agree that an tax increase is presented in a alternate way without representation in our house. This needs to be debated and our representatives need to be on record as to how they voted. We as citizens of Massachusetts have this right and no one should take this away from us. |

I must leave my son a world better than I was given. It will be sustainable with healthy soil clean air and sky... Items I consider basic. The era of Monsanto ravaging the worlds landscape and fossil fuel smog spewing forth from every industrial power will be an item they speak of with complete bewilderment at how we could allow progress to eclipse our concern and care for the very planet that sustains us. Thank you for your hard work. I am confident you will create a transportation landscape that is thoughtful and impactful to the next generation as well as their children! Have a great day! |
