County1 — the state ALREADY has their hands on the surcharge. They CURRENTLY skim 10% off the top of EVERY DOLLAR collected through the GET rail surcharge by the State Department of Taxation. As of January of this year, that amount totaled $177 million. Please educate yourself, and think twice about agreeing with wiliki — who perpetuates absurd falsehoods like the sick and elderly (included in his/her so-called “broad-based constituency”) do not feel the impact of this surcharge.
