But for the general public, especially those who drive giant SUVs and trucks around the city, fouling the air, damaging roads, and putting everyone at increased risk of death and dismemberment—do they deserve a gas-tax holiday?Which only begets mockery from Militant Normals.
It's not given to Streetsblog aesthetes to decide.
The idea of a gas tax holiday itself deserves mockery. Are Our Political Masters serious about using the current rise in crude oil prices to induce substitution and invention of less-fossil-dependent technologies? Or is it more political theater, using Vladimir Putin to deflect attention to incompetence closer to home while continuing to subsidize development patterns that don't pay for themselves?
