I would be much more supportive of a tax increase if they were to manage the money a little more carefully. The premier speaks of avoiding reckless cuts, but no attempt at the slightest fiscal responsibility is hard to swallow.
You are correct about the price of gas, but as of late it appears to swing back down as fast. This tax wont budge, not even after a new party is voted in.
