We have another gas tax hike coming in July here in
Washington, but that was decided by a Democratic controlled legislation
in Olympia.


Actually...the autofuel tax increase in Washington that kicks in July 1
was passed by the Republican-controlled legislature in 2005.

Really? I was out of state in 2005, but I was under the impression that
Democrats have had a nearly 2/3 majority in both houses for several
years now. In fact, I recently got a call from a Republican fund-raiser
demonizing the Dems for the gas tax. If Republicans controlled the
legislature in 2005, how come Republican Mike Hewitt was the minority
leader?
