VENTSday: Gas Tax Hike + Limiting Voter Initiatives

guernicamag.org

With gas prices so low, why NOTraise gas taxes?  That's one argument we'll explore in this week's VENTSday.

The other: the idea of making it harder to put voter initiatives on the ballot.

VENTSday is our weekly "opinion swarm"… we throw a pair of topics on the table, and let listeners vent--politely--on those topics. 

They can range from the global to the hyper-local, and all responsible opinions are welcome. 

We bring the topics, you bring the opinions.  It's VENTSday on The Jefferson Exchange, and you participate by calling 1-800-838-3760 or emailing JX@jeffnet.org.This week's topics again, in a nutshell (two nutshells?):

  • Higher gas taxes for road repair
  • Higher thresholds for putting initiatives on the ballot

...we'll talk to you on the air!
