gas

This week, Schenectady County became the first in the Capital Region to opt in on a sales tax cap on gasoline. Passed unanimously, the vote is being praised as politicians protecting the people and fighting for the working class. In reality, it’s a terrible move.

Every time there is an increase in the cost of gasoline my inbox and Facebook become flooded with people inviting me to boycott buying gas on a certain day. Most people do this based on an emotional reaction and rarely think if it’ll actually have an impact, let alone a negative one.
