Doyle’s Gas Tax Hike
This is pretty much what sensible people have been saying since Doyle introduced his oil tax.
A proposed state tax on oil company profits will inevitably be passed on to consumers at the pump, a report to be released today says.
The Wisconsin Policy Research Institute, a conservative think tank based in Thiensville, contends that a provision in the proposal aimed at keeping the tax from being passed on to consumers will be overturned in court, as has happened in other states.
The report is designed to provide background on similar measures that have been enacted in other states, and to ensure that the discussion of the issue “is based on the reality.”

“This tax should be called what it is - a five cent increase in the gas tax,” the report says. “The no-pass-through provision, with its promises of jailed oil company executives and cheap gasoline, should have no place in a serious discussion of transportation finance.”
Owen, you just cannot use the word sensible in the same sentence with Doyle’s name. It confuses.
