A Maryland delegate said Tuesday that legislators might have to raise the state sales tax instead of going ahead with an unpopular proposal to increase the tax on gasoline.
Mr. McFadden expressed concerns that the public and lobbyists would see this feature as an opportunity to overload the system when constituents already have the ability to email their legislators.
"I think the needs far outweigh the concerns the public will have," said Mr. McFadden, vice chairman of the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee. "We have to clearly show how this money will be expended — to improve our transportation infrastructure."
