Washington State's gas tax is jumping to 56.5 cents per gallon on July 1st — one of the highest in the nation and climbing every single year. While most of America fills up somewhere in the mid-$3 range, Bellevue drivers are staring down prices near $6 a gallon. Oklahoma is paying $2. That gap doesn't happen by accident. That's what you get when you keep electing people like Bob Ferguson to run your state.Governor Ferguson and the Olympia Democrats keep selling these hikes as infrastructure investment, but the pattern writes itself — every year the gas tax goes up, every year the roads are somehow still in desperate need of repair, and every year Senator Marco Liias has a fresh justification ready. Motor Vehicle Fund. Road work. Construction projects. Call it whatever you want. Working families and daily commuters filling up every week know exactly what it is: a tax grab dressed in a hard hat.What makes this especially brutal is how it punishes the people least equipped to absorb it. Gas taxes are among the most regressive in the entire tax code — they don't care how much you earn. The family driving a beat-up Honda to a warehouse job pays the same per gallon as the Eastside tech worker. And this isn't a Washington problem in isolation — California just hiked their gas tax to the highest rate in the country. This is the Blue State Playbook: tax, spend, call it investment, and leave citizens wondering where the money actually went.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of what Pacific Northwest politicians hope you'll stop thinking about.

Washington's gas tax climbs again on July 1, 2026 — the first automatic increase under ESHB 2711, signed by Gov. Bob Ferguson. Bob Pishue of the Mountain States Policy Center argues the inflation-indexed hike bypasses legislative accountability while Washingtonians already pay $5.34 per gallon versus $4.24 in Idaho. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-washington-states-gas-tax-is-going-up-in-july-and-will-automatically-increase-yearly-thats-a-big-problem/ #WashingtonState #GasTax #Transportation #Politics #Opinion #Columns #ESHB2711 #FuelTax #ClarkCounty #MountainStatesPolicy

Washington's per-gallon gas tax climbs from 55.4 cents to 56.5 cents on July 1 — the first annual inflationary increase under a 2025 law — pushing the state behind only California and Pennsylvania. Despite the hike, state economist Dave Reich projects transportation revenue will run $130 million short for the 2027–29 budget, with fuel tax collections declining as EV adoption grows. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/washingtons-gas-tax-is-going-up-but-state-transportation-revenue-is-falling-short/ #WashingtonState #GasTax #Transportation #ClarkCounty #FuelPrices #TransportationBudget #WashingtonBudget #BobFerguson #EVs #PublicPolicy

This week on Political Breakfast, we're talking about party unity, and endorsements pouring-in as the dust settles from Georgia's May primary elections. U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff and Georgia's Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Keisha Lance Bottoms, are joining forces ahead of the general election in November. Is the entire Democratic base united to support the former Atlanta Mayor? If elected, Bottoms would become the first Black woman to take the state's highest office. On the Republican side, unity is dicey. That's as political outsider and billionaire healthcare CEO Rick Jackson and current Lt. Gov. Burt Jones prepare for a June 16th runoff. The winner with face Bottoms in November. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam break all this down. Plus, Republicans are now having mixed feelings about redrawing Georgia's district lines. And Georgia's gas tax suspension has ended. Now Georgians are rushing to fill up their tanks, before those prices at the pumps creep-up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oregonians overwhelmingly voted against Measure 120, a proposal meant to address funding shortfalls for the Oregon Department of Transportation.   Known as the gas tax, the measure would have increased the state’s gas tax by 6 cents per gallon, temporarily hike payroll tax, and double fees for registrations and titles. Without the tax, the agency only has funding to support core services until the end of 2027. Daniel Porter is ODOT's Finance and Budget Division Administrator. He joins us to share how he’s thinking about the future of the agency’s budget.  

The primary election is over. Oregon voters shot down a statewide gas tax proposal and Christine Drazan won the Republican nod for governor. That sets up a rematch between Drazan and Gov. Tina Kotek. On the latest episode of OPB Politics Now, reporters Bryce Dole, Lauren Dake and Elizabeth Miller dive into the local taxes that did pass and explain what we can glean from the election and the gubernatorial rematch. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.  

 Oregon voters resoundingly rejected a statewide ballot measure that would have raised the state gas tax from 40 to 46 cents and  doubled car title and registration fees to help fund road maintenance and other transportation projects. Measure 120 was widely expected to fail, especially as gas prices continue to soar in Oregon and across the nation.   Last year, Gov. Tina Kotek and Democrats in the Legislature approved a bill that included the gas tax and fee hikes, but Republican lawmakers succeeded in raising enough signatures to put the issue before voters. Democrats, however, countered by ensuring the measure appeared on the May ballot instead of in November, when Gov. Kotek is up for reelection.    Gov. Kotek will now face Republican state Sen. Christine Drazan in a rematch of the 2022 gubernatorial race. On Tuesday, Republican voters selected Drazan to be their gubernatorial nominee over former Portland Trail Blazer Chris Dudley, state Rep. Ed Diehl and other candidates.    OPB political reporter Lauren Dake joins us for more details about Drazan’s victory and the failed gas tax measure.
