To the Editor:

Citizens beware; the geniuses in Hartford have done it again. What you ask? Raised the taxes on gas effective July 1st.

The real kicker here is that when the tax was voted on by our “elected geniuses,” it was voted on for one reason and one reason only: repair of bridges and roads. Guess what?

Again we get shafted; the new tax is going into the general fund! Shocked, I tell you,  shocked  that this could happen! (Apologies to Claude Raines, guess the movie.)

Anybody know if they are still giving away government cheese?
