This increase is legally mandated. By law, the gas tax must meet certain revenue targets. These were not met due to the pandemic.

NJ residents should expect many more tax increases from Murphy in the future.

Which was signed into law by Republican christie.

Just one of the taxes the knucklehead in Trenton has let go in effect during these hard times. He is a man of the people [roll] only looking to help us, [roll] the little guy.

Do you really think once this pandemic is over it'll go down? This is the Dems new slush fund for their pet projects. Some will go for infrastructure but it'll get pilfered for other things. This tax is nothing more than a scam pushed by Dem, Boss Sweeney.

Don’t you know that posting facts that rebut Twinkle Toe’s opinions is how threads get locked?

It's already happening, he just allocated $250 mil. for mothers in need of day care.

OH MY GOD GAS IS ….STILL GONNA BE WELL UNDER $3 A GALLON (which is still around the cheapest in history in real $ terms).

 

[goru1869]

Yes , I was very much against this tax increase and even signed a petition opposing it . But I do feel there is a way the people in Trenton could have paused it for a while until things got better in this state. After all they always find a way or reason to increase taxes.

So why don't you volunteer to pay the increase for all of us .

Does it matter that Christie was the one who signed this into law?

NJ gas tax will rise less than a month after toll hike

New Jersey drivers will pay an extra 9.3 cents per gallon when the gas tax is raised on Oct. 1, the state treasurer announced Friday.

Always a complainer. I wouldn’t have even noticed it if it wasn’t posted here.

The way things are going, expect licenses and registrations for bicycle riders before too long. In Florida, with so many demands for bike paths and bike lanes and bike safety, taxpayers are pushing for bike riders to start throwing in to pay for their demands, including bridge tolls, bike licenses and registrations.

Now you just gave JC mayor Fulop an idea, if he hadn't thought of this already.

Sounds like a good plan actually. License would be stupid, but registration and tolls make sense. Seems a win for everyone - better infrastructure for cyclists, less taxpayer money to build it.

And I nominate the Garden State Parkway... The New Jersey Turnpike... the Jersey City Expressway of bike paths, from Montclair to Jersey City.

New trail would let bikers, walkers travel 11 miles from Montclair to Jersey City — car free

It sounds like a dream: Hop on your bike in Montclair and cycle 11 car-free miles on rail-trail to the Meadowlands and Jersey City.

This must be our present for complying with the lockdown order and staying at home rather than driving.

Yep, anyone who remembered that part of the law knew about 5 months ago that this was going to happen. It's also funny to see the Democrats and Republicans pointing fingers at each other over this when it was both of them. The Democrats in the legislature pushed the bill through and then Republican Christie signed it.

Three things-
1. You would need a government body to be in charge of collecting fees and issuing registrations

2. You would need someone to enforce these laws. Would police now need to pull over bikers?

3. You are trusting Trenton to use this revenue to go to the purpose it was collected for.

On #2 , social workers would be assigned the task. We all know they would be able to do this job.

They need to legalize weed already.

It is being proposed in the house next week for a federal legalization.

Yeah I saw, states would still need to vote individually to make it legal, but this would make it much easier. Doesn’t matter because Republicans will never pass it.

NJ will be legalizing come November though.

Is it on the ballot in NJ this year?

Yep. At least one good thing will come out of this election cycle.

You know this is going to fluff BS like paying for private school for top state gov officials’ children. I know one person from in the Christie admin who used funds for stuff like this along with the rest of the staff. Someone else paid for their $100k+ wedding with state funds lol.

Trenton will waste whatever money that comes in. Legalized weed in NJ will be a clusterf and meaningless for the overall state budget.

$200mil+ in Marijuana tax revenues is better than nothing, and certainly better than raising taxes for everyone.
