Corzine Just can't Take the Pledge

In the face of rising gas prices, averaging an increase of $0.46 in the last week alone, Doug Forrester pledged not to raise the gas tax and challanged Corzine to do the same. Corzine, like any addicted personality (addicted to our tax dollars that is) just couldn't do it.

Corzine refused to rule out a gas tax boost, but acknowledged it has become a less attractive option.

"It was a lot easier to make this case, like, a-dollar-twenty-five ago than it is today," he said. Corzine reiterated his position that a tax increase would be a "last resort," adding, "It would be hard to justify at this point." link
