NEW JERSEY GAS TAX HIKE: SIGNIFICANT OPPOSITION PERSISTS
As winter weather bears down on New Jersey’s already crumbling roads, residents continue to oppose a gas tax increase, according to a new Rutgers-Eagleton Poll. Despite active support from various state lawmakers, about six in 10 New Jerseyans are against hiking the gas tax no matter the context.
