Governor Bill Haslam announced his plan to increase the gas
tax this morning. Many legislators are already wavering and saying they will go
along with a plan that is "revenue neutral."
If you want to stop the gas tax hike the time to act is NOW.
Please contact your legislator HERE or
by calling them directly at 615-741-1100.
Points to remember:
TN has a record budget surplus - currently 1.2 Billion
dollars
Now is the time to cut taxes, not raise them.
The 7 cent-per-gallon increase will make TN's gas tax one of
the highest in the South. Only Georgia and North Carolina would have a higher
gas tax. Their gas tax hikes haven't solved the congestion issues in Atlanta or
Charlotte and it won't solve traffic headaches here either.
To make matters worse the proposal will automatically and
continually increase the gas tax. Seven cents is just the start.
