Kevin Lacey of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation tells CHSJ News that gas taxes cost New Brunswickers $24 every time they fill up their tanks --$4 more than it cost in 2010.
He says they are calling on the government to stop taxing the taxes on gasoline when they balance the provincial books.
Lacey adds we pay taxes on everything but he would have thought the Alward government would have stopped taxing its own taxes.
Lacey says the Alward government’s 2011 gas tax hike costs provincial families $31 million this year.
