Democrats want gas tax increase
WASHINGTON (UP1) -- Democrates on the House Energy Committee served notice yesterday that they will propose doubling the federal gasoline tax to eight cents a gallon to help pay for mass transit and energy programs.
The committee is considering broad energy regulation that has been approved so far by the Ways and Means Committee, the Board of the Committee and the Banking Committee.
Committee Democrats indicated they would propose a four-cent increase when the committee considered tax matters later this week.
The new approach taken by the Democrats would put a two-cent increase in the fiscal year starting this October and another two cents in the following fiscal
The approximately $5 billion that the four cents would raise each year would be armerked for mass transit, carpooling incentives, other transportation initiatives, a national petroleum storage program and research for new forms of energy.
At a lunch meeting yesterday with key committee chairmen, Illinois Gov. James Thompson said a half-cent rebate, being considered for the states as part of
equitable share," Thompson said after the meeting.
