“The state’s newest transportation bill will raise taxes on gas, services on computer software upgrades and cigarettes. Gas will go up three cents a gallon. And you’ll be paying a dollar more if you buy a pack of cigarettes and $10 more if you buy a carton. State legislators estimate the new taxes will raise $800 million in the next five years. The added revenue will be used for transportation projects and to help sustain public transit.”
