McClellan backs gas tax hike amid budget crunch
Del James McClellan of Frederick Washington says the General Assembly is likely to approve a six cent gasoline tax increase to help close a state budget gap of 1.1 to 1.3 billion for fiscal 1993. He argues the tax should be dedicated to roads, airports and the Port of Baltimore to avoid federal aid loss and notes commuters in Frederick County would feel the impact. He also warns deep, permanent cuts may be needed even as the House and Senate balance the 1992-93 budgets.
