FROM THE ARCHIVES | THISSEN: GAS TAX “MONEY OUT OF PEOPLE’S POCKET”

“The gas tax isn’t particularly popular and everybody gets that and it’s money that comes out of people’s pockets when they have to drive to the store or work or whatever. I mean that’s absolutely the case.” (House Minority Leader Paul Thissen shares thoughts on upcoming State of the State address  MN House Information Services April 8, 2015)

“Obviously if you raise the gas tax it’s gonna have the negative impact of A) being unpopular but also that it is money out of people’s pocket. If they have to drive to work or have to drive their kids around it’s going to cost them more.” Paul Thissen Interview on KMRS
