Call JIm Arciero! Hearing on repealing the automatic gas tax increase tomorrow! Call!

Apparently the Joint Committee on Revenue is holding a hearing on repealing the automatic gas tax increase the Legislature voted in last year.  Jim Arciero, our state rep is on the committee.  Please call the committee number :617-722-2320 and leave a message for Jim or speak to one of his staffers.  To refresh memories, the gas tax is scheduled to automatically increase based on some inflation index, whether needed or not....FOREVER, without debate of vote of our elected officials.  It is the coward's way out chosen by the Legislature who doesn't want to be bothered with the tedious chore of making a case for tax increases.
