Massachusetts Governor Deval PatrickFor What It's Worth By Riverside Blogger Chris Fountain
Other than its name, this tax has nothing to do with Obama Warming
Story: Massachusetts Governor suggests $2 “carbon fee” for parking at Logan Airport.
He wants the parking fee - which requires approval from the Legislature - to be used for improvements to airport-related transit projects, including a proposal to build a new tunnel under South Boston to speed up the Logan-bound Silver Line bus service, and the initial phases of a long-term plan to build a transit loop around the city. Based on Logan’s most recent parking figures, the new fee would probably raise about $5.4 million per year.
Well God bless the man, at least he’s not proposing to spend the money on planting trees in Nepal or waste it on some other look good - do nothing project that Al Gore and his pals endorse (and get rich from).
