Local Ind. News: Voters not impressed by "Gas Tax Holiday"

I hope TPM continues to do more of this, bringing local coverage to the national scene. It's really pretty cool (especially when you like the coverage that your seeing!).

Meanwhile, you gotta' give credit to those people who see the gas tax gambit for the gimmick that it really is. People like say Bill Clinton, circa March, 2000 (via AMERICAblog):

The problem I have with it, apart from what it might do to the Highway Trust Fund and the spending obligations that have already been incurred by the acts of Congress, the budgets, is that I’m not sure that the savings would be passed along to the consumers.

Smart words, Mr. President, smart words.
