Letting The Wisconsin Gas Tax Increase Automatically Is A Mistake

Gov. Jim Doyle is on the wrong side of the issue - - bringing back the automatic, annual gas tax increase (indexing) - - and should drop the idea.

Wrong because it pours money into the bottomless pit of highway expansion.

Wrong because it escalates the Wisconsin gas tax, already 30.9 cents a gallon, the country's second-highest.

Wrong because indexing absolves legislators and the Governor of having to face the voters over an intentional tax increase.

Wrong because it puts the Governor on the wrong side of the tax issue.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

OH-02: Poll Shows Schmidt on Shaky Ground, Wulsin Trails by Single Digits

Ohio Daily Blog's picture

A new poll commissioned by the campaign of challenger Dr. Victoria Wulsin (D-Indian Hill) shows widespread dissatisfaction with incumbent Rep. "Mean Jean" Schmidt (R-Loveland), with only 33% approving her job performance and 48% saying they would vote to replace her or would consider doing so. Although the incumbent leads in the head-to-head matchup, her lead is in the single digits:

41% Schmidt (R)
33% Wulsin (D)
6% Krikorian (I)
19% Undecided

The head-to-head includes leaners; among strong supporters Schmidt's lead is only 26% to 24%. The poll, taken by Momentum Analysis, LLC by telephone on June 24-26, included 500 likely voters and has a margin of error of +/- 4.4 points.
