Oil profits tax ruling may mean higher gas prices
Albany report outlines a $3.2 billion package to bail out the MTA. A 2 percent gross receipts tax on oil company profits could flow to motorists via higher gas prices or a sales tax.

Miller warns the package as written is unacceptable and calls for oversight to reform the MTA management.
