I'll save you a click.

> Maine Democratic Governor Janet Mills is debunking a Maine Republican Party 30-second TV attack that accuses her of imposing one new tax, a nonexistent grocery tax, and trying to raise another, the state's gas tax, which she never did.

> Mills said in an interview on Thursday, “I do not support a gas tax increase, will not support a gas tax increase, and there is no grocery tax. I do not support a tax on groceries."

Lies are one of those skill sets R's keep in their toolbox... repeat often enough and might just get an extra couple of votes from the stupid people in the back.

The thing is the stupid people arent in the back anymore. They are front and center and VERY energized by this kind of shit. We cant just sit back and think "psh dumb people wont do anything". Look at the state of this country. Dumb people are doing A LOT of damage and are fixing to do a lot more because of the lies and scare tactics that are being VERY successfully deployed by the right...

  1. No.

  2. Doctors, and guardians know better about their child's scenario then some random fuckwad stranger off the internet. Mind your damn business.

  3. Nobody says that.

  4. He is a bigot, and an ignorant ass clown. What say u? durr LeTs Go BrAnDoN!!

  5. There is no gun control lie.

  6. Nobody says this. But yes, the military takes up the bulk of this Countries resources.

  7. You guys overuse the word "woke" so much I don't think you know what it means anymore. It's just a buzzword that trailer trash conservatives who think they are in the top 1% use to try and sound cool.

  8. Inflation is very real, and the biggest culprit is billion dollar companies not giving a fuck. Thank Trump for all the corporate tax breaks and not holding them accountable.

  9. Why do you all have such a hard on for Bidens son? it's getting creepy.

  10. Still going on about a lap top with zero evidence 2 years later? lmao

It literally is a pro-GOP site. That casts doubt on it immediately. Yes, there's A tax. She is not raising it, no matter what the GOP tells you.

ozzie286 t1_itjz7ny wrote

The relevant section of this report is discussing potential sources of funding for EV infrastructure, and groups "gas tax" with other potential funding sources. It does not specifically advocate for raising the gas tax, notes the constitutional issue, and most importantly, this report was not written by Mills, rather an office under her.
