Street Talk: 'What do you think about Washington state's newly added gas tax?'

KAIMI DEARDORFF

"It sucks."

ERIC OSBORNE

"It's horrible - as if gas wasn't expensive enough. The thing that makes it really difficult is that we already had a gas increase because of the war. Washington is expensive enough as it is."

LOUISE ALEXANDER

"I think it serves a good purpose. I don't like paying more in taxes, but I understand that these taxes are going to improve road quality and they are going toward the monorail, which I voted for. I am all right with discouraging single-car drivers."

RYAN SPICKARD

"It's unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. I'm not [sure] where the taxes are going, but I think we're all reeling from what's going on - the steady increase in gas all over the U.S. Everyone is so apathetic about it. As someone who doesn't drive at this point, I think it's good to fix things. I'm saving money, but I feel sorry for everyone else."

LOIS MILLER

"They are going to get it out of us one way or another. I think that they could use the money that they have better. No one ever seems accountable about where all of the money goes. It is our money - let us know where it's going. Why do you always need more, more?"
