No need to raise Md.'s gas tax

Gov.Martin O'Malleyproposes adding a 6 percent additional tax onto the cost of gasoline, to the detriment of Maryland taxpayers' wallets.

If the Minority and Women's Business Enterprise requirements were waived from highway contracts, the cost of construction would decrease by at least 6 percent. There would be no reason to increase taxes since the costs of the compliance would be lifted and economies of scale could return.
