November, December, January

the gas tax is being added back...its not all of the price rise but its part.

Surprise surprise.

Look at all the people that will jump to defend their stupid votes now.

No surprise. it was well known before the election.

Defend what votes? Are you implying that if I voted for republicans the gas/economy would be in better shape?

Gas prices dropped immediately after the election, FYI

it's all of it. they're phasing it in a nickel a month and it'll stop in May

So Lamont is now responsible for your gas prices?

citgo on the turnpike went from like 2.83 to 3.34 in two days...it isn't all gas tax....unless citgo just said fuckit and went full

To be fair, the governor did impose a gas tax holiday for the past 9 months

ya my b, I misread your comment.

👍

Good...People need to start being priced outta here again

Yes.

Maybe vote someone other than red or blue?

Amazing how this sub uses reds as blame for their continuing to vote for blue idiots.

We have a two party system. When it’s time for me to vote, I sit down and look at how each party will affect the things I care about.

It’s actually pretty simple from my perspective. I don’t care what the parties are called: After all, republicans used to be a very different 170ish years ago. I vote for the party that makes my life better and aligns with my morals 🤷🏾

I really don’t care what they are called or their color. Voting for a third party does not move me closer to my goals for our country/state. Voting Democrat does. It’s not a loyalty issue, it’s a practicality issue.

If you want to argue about a third party system, you go do you. I’m well aware of the faults of our current situation.

Yes. He is. You’d blame Stefanowski too if he was in office. Statist.

And you… voted for this anyways? Knowing this?

The same people who say “It’s a two party system” constantly say they want to “break the two party system” but continue to participate in the two party system, thus, not breaking the two party system. If you voted for this, take responsibility. Don’t blame the other party (that isn’t even running the show right now)

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

I'm not sure what you mean, both candidates supported restoration of the gas tax

So, your goal is to be taxed up the wazoo? For the rest of us mere mortals who aren’t millionaires, we need a better solution.

Thanks for sharing.

Agreed, which is why I support the party that is better for the average American. And no, my goal is not to be taxed up the wazoo, i just understand how society works.

Gas prices are rising everywhere, not just CT. Am in Florida at the moment and they went up like $.25 overnight.

Is 75% of being a conservative just not knowing how to read?

The temporary cuts on the gas tax are expiring. They were temporary.

Right. Big Oil, with its massive connections to the GOP, colluded with Democrats to help them keep the Senate and have a weak majority in the House. Got it. Makes sense.

Gas prices fluctuate. Why is this always a hot topic?

Ever check out r/conspiracy, that's a better sub for posts like this.

I think OP meant they were temporary for voting purposes and now that elections are over of course they are coming back. It was strategic. If it mattered enough maybe he could have just cut them? Maybe not but it would be nice the roads are all fd up anyway tax or no tax

Because these morons keep believing the other morons and vote for them.

OK, Richie Rich. The rest of us will scrape to get by.

Not wealthy - my wife and I are teachers. Don’t even know what your point is tbh. Gl!

Makes perfect sense now! The NEA only supports blue candidates. You’re not for society, you’re for yourself!

Yes, that’s what progressives are all about: me me me. 😂.

Edit: And NEA leaning left surprises you? The right is in an all out war against education and is one small step from jailing teachers just like Nazi germany. It’s not exactly shocking our biggest union supports the party that isn’t using us as a pawn to distract their dumb voters.

Gotta vote the blues in to make sure your union remains strong and your pension is funded.

And you wanted to pretend your voting habits were altruistic in nature. Sneaky snake, indeed!

Nobody being sneaky about it. Of course public school teachers want a strong union and funded pensions. It’s sad and telling you view this as a gotcha.

At no point did I say my voting was altruistic. I literally said I vote for what’s best for me and mine as part of my voting strategy. As does everyone else.

Bloated pensions, outdated tenure, union protection.

Please tell me all about the Nazis when your union exists solely for your own financial benefit; education has nothing to do with it.

Yes yes teachers bad, education bad, vote red!!!!!!!! You have no idea what NEA does or why - you just lookin silly.

It’s always about the education so long as the teachers get their end, right?

Worst teacher in town gets paid the same as the best. Keep voting blues!

Yes, we care both about education and getting paid. Again, this is surprising to you? And yes, public teacher pay scale is based on experience. We have a severe teacher shortage, so you’re welcome to join up if you think it’s so well paid and easy.

And I will, thanks! What else am I gonna do? Vote for the fascists?

> And yes, public teacher pay scale is based on experience.

Exactly! It’s based purely on tenured experience and not on performance.

Super cool story. Since you have literally no idea what you are talking about, I’m gonna say bye Felicia.

Keep debating the person and not their view. I’m sorry my talking points are hitting too close to home for your liking.

Lol!

They suspended the tax and are bringing it back incrementally. It was bipartisan.

Why do people think the government of Connecticut is determining gas prices? Our average for regular gas is $3.36 according to AAA. Texas has the cheapest regular gas in the country at $3.13.

If you want to bitch, bitch to the oil companies, OPEC, and the idiots who want to stop the transition away from fossil fuels.

It seems no matter what the issue, it's all lamonts fault. Rising egg prices? Blame the democrats. You have diarrhea, blame the democrats. A bird shit on your car? Yep, all Ned's fault....

These folks call democrats sheep, but they are worse when it comes to following whatever Trump, DeSantis or any GOP politician tells them....

I feel bad for you

You nailed it.

Nooooo

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Never said Connecticut government controls gas prices. Also never stated which party was at fault. You can’t tell me politicians don’t got their hands in the pockets of big oil.

Sorry, was replying more to some of the respondents than to you.
