AFP-MN: Stop Proposed Cost Increases!
The negative impacts of the proposed 'Clean Transportation Standard'.
The Democrat-controlled legislature is proposing a new cost increase that will make Minnesota's fuel costs the most extreme and most expensive in the country - surpassing even states like California, Oregon, and Washington. This proposal has been labelled the "Clean Transportation Standard" or CTS and could lead to an extra $0.45 - $1.00 fee per gallon on top of the increased gas tax. This equates to $686 million - $3.42 billion per year in increased fuel costs that hard-working Minnesotans will have to bear.
This is an economic burden born on the backs of hard-working Minnesotans that will have an impact everywhere, increasing the cost of living even more. These awful anti-economic policies are adding up and Minnesotans will be paying the price at the pump. The very people that Democrats claim to be helping will be hurting the most.
Legislators are about to start debating this proposal - send this letter to your legislator today to urge them to say NO to the new cost increase.
