I wish the gas tax would be raised. The cost of maintaining the roads has increased but the revenue has remained the same. The current levels are not sustainable.

    It doesn't do any good raising taxes on people who can least afford it... Workers or what is left of the middle class should not continually be burdened when the top 1-2% are not sacrificing.
