An election is around the corner, and so is an increase to the gas tax.

Commuting in New Jersey is hard enough without the added expense of a gas tax, and politicians have already proven that they aren't going to allocate this extra money appropriately.

I say it's time to look for other ways to solve the state's debt problems.
