i'm sure you can find a way to tie the price hike to Obooboo and the rest of his democratic goonies.... they probably cut funding to some state level program and the state had to compensate for it.
I know it wasn't to keep up with employee pay costs and what not as they laid a bunch of people off, and never replaced them, and next to no one got their annual raises.
Almost makes you wonder were that money is really going....
they'd like you to believe it goes to maintaining the roads...
