This is another assinine tax request just like the higher tax on cigarettes for the so called "trauma system". What ever come of that anyways? I havent heard a damn thing about it since they got their high as hell tax increase. Tax paid politicians that piss away our tax money will always look to the consumers and industry to pay for their over paid salaries and screw ups. I dont see the majority of my income now due to high taxes, I CANT TAKE MORE HITS!!!!!!!!

We the people better hope that this does not pass because, as my son that is an in the financial aspect of the natural gas industry says, it will cost jobs because some of the drill sites will be considered to not be cost effecient and cause lay offs etc and also, who do you think the extra taxes on the natural gas company will be passed to? Us of course! Makes since. They need to quit preying on other companies providing us services and use the alloted tax moneys already coming in more wisely and they will have enough to do the work needed!

The Tax collectors have their hand deep enough in our pockets. A lot of that $$$ is already suppose to be going to road repair. Learn to use it wizely and stop trying to dig deeper in the working person's pocket. We are already supporting all of you're crap. I won't vote for another dime of taxes anywere for any thing. We the working people need something to live on too. They say Washington's broken.... I say Government all over the place is broken. Snatch em all out by the ear and start aver.
