Aug. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist said he won't oppose an extension of U.S. gasoline and diesel- fuel taxes set to expire Sept. 30, as he pushes for broader transportation-funding overhaul. Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, said today that an extension with no changes wouldn't violate a pledge signed by many congressional lawmakers not to raise taxes. That may allow Republicans to agree to extend surface transportation funding and authority to collect the gasoline tax. The Federal Aviation Administration last month temporarily lost its authority to collect airline ticket taxes when Congress couldn't agree on an extension bill for that agency, and about 4,000 FAA workers were furloughed for two weeks.

Sorry guys, Grover says Republicans have his permission to extend federal gas taxes.

Norquist has turned into a limousine liberal who wants every little pothole fixed so that he doesn't spill his champagne. He's getting payola from the Chinese asphalt manufacturer, and pothole patchers union.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
