Thanks, Uncle Mike

Quick shot, gotta run to a Christmas party.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Get ready to pay more at the pump in January– and you can blame the state for it.

North Carolina is raising its motor fuel tax by nearly 3 cents a gallon.

That’s the largest increase in 16 years.

Officials say the tax hike is based — by law — on wholesale prices.

The state’s tax will be 29.9 cents per gallon.

North Carolina has the fifth-highest gas tax in the nation and the highest in the South.

Happy New Year from Uncle Mike Easley. Surely he will put out an Executive order stoppin this, right? No, I haven’t started drinking yet.
