On Tuesday 30 July, I stopped at a local gas station by the Center Of Salisbury Mall. As I started pumping gas, a young lady came up and introduced herself as a new news reporter. She didn’t say what news media she was from and I normally don’t like talking to reporters. They always seem to have a way of misrepresenting the facts. She was asking the people stopping to gas up, what they thought about the increases in federal and state gas taxes. I suggested that she check out her facts because the way I understood the tax increases is that President Trump was going to lower federal taxes to help ease the ” Pain at the Pumps ” for taxpayers purchasing gas. I also informed her that in my personal opinion, I expect the Maryland Democratic Governor, Wes Moore, was going to increase the state gas tax each time the actual gas prices were going down. She mentioned that it was an interesting concept and she hadn’t thought of it in that way.
I also asked her why she wasn’t at the Wicomico School Board meeting that morning, where history was made when the final selection of the Student Member of the School Board was announced. She said she hadn’t known about the meeting. Back to my original statement when I said that the media was good at misrepresenting the facts. Whoever gave this new, young reporter this assignment, intentionally told her that Trump along with Moore was increasing state taxes on fuel when I believe it was only the Democratic Governor Moore.
Of course none of this ever made it into any news media reports because it was contrary to what the Democratic news station wanted to put out to the public. They surely don’t want any positive news about Trump. Remember, TDS is deeply embedded in local news media. After she talked to me she went to her van and started interviewing another customer. Was anyone else approached by this same young lady? Can anyone tell us about the current status of President Trump’s efforts in lowering the federal gas tax?

Interesting. Yes, I actually heard Wes Moore in a press conference a year or so ago say that ANY lowering of federal taxes would be met with equal raising of state taxes. And none of the many jobs listed from corporations who are investing in American jobs are being taken by Governor Moore.
Marylander’s are suckers. When will they start voting Democrats out of office?
MAGA
Look what the sheeple did in WorCo!
These same reports had no interest in folks opinions when Biden actually admitted that democrats wanted higher gas prices.
