How about increasing it .5% for Leaking Underground Storage Tanks fund replacement for the money you took out of there to patch up the budget?

How about .02% increase for the governor's special bribes/payoffs to husband, contributors and Toyota for no-bid gifts to Toyota, State Police Headquarters, etc?
