If this is a SMOKESCREEN and a boondoggle to get funding for the Mobile Port Alabama State Docks who do we call on to do the right thing and shoot this down ??? Also, don’t they realize they will raise the cost of all goods that are delivered via any vehicle that has to pay the additional gas tax !!! That is bad for the economy and the residents of our state !!!

SMOKESCREEN!! It is a boondoggle to get funding for the Mobile Port Alabama State Docks. Remove the docks from this bill and it would be ok, the roads need it, but DO NOT burden the citizens with maintaining a dock used by PRIVATE BUSINESSES by hiding it as infrastructure (roads) improvement taxes.

I think there is a horrible misconception out there that local, state and federal governments can tax the working people and they won’t do anything about it … WRONG !!!!!.. this is one more nail in the coffin for ANY politician out there who thinks his job is safe !!! I like the movement out there that is growing around the USA. It is a simple fix to all of these gouges the politicians are trying to shove down our throat !!! The movement is simply to Vote AGAINST ALL politicians who are in office now regardless of their party and ONLY vote for someone who is NOT currently a politician !!!! In 5 or 6 years we will “DRAIN THE SWAMP” ourselves and replace all the vermin with honest people who have pride in their work and respect for their voters !!!!

Alabama needs the lottery. It would have plenty of money for roads.

I live on Florida, and regularly fill up in Alabama because the gas is so much cheaper. I think the ten cent tax will probably bring Alabama right in line with other states gas cost. I hate that it’s going up, but honestly, alot of non residents have enjoyed the lower gas prices without really contributing anything to Alabama.

The reason our nations infrastructure is crumbling is because politicians always rob the eggs from these funds for other projects. It happens in every state, and if you read the article you can see the what the pet project is here. The Alabama state docks! How many of you can drive your vehicle up the Mobile river? Why 10 cents a gallon? Why not 2 cents a gallon, why gouge the people when they are just starting to prosper? In a year’s time 10 cents a gallon will hurt everyone that owns a vehicle.
Residents of Alabama need to raise sand with their legislators now to get this bill killed.
