Oil Barrel Tax - from 5 cents to $1.05

[JerryCarr]

This is a sneaky "back-door" tax that the legislators think will go unnoticed, and they may be right. These people don't have the courage to balance the budget by demanding more efficient government or really challenging the public employees unions. They considered raising the GET (another bad idea,) but backed off because that would have been obvious even to the most ignorant voters.
