MEMO TO THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON REVENUE

Take Credit for Repealing the Perpetual Gas Tax Hikes


 

Re:  Initiative petition of Steven W. Aylward and others for the passage of An Act repeal of 2013 gas tax indexing (House, No. 3847)

Cc.  All State Representatives/Senators

 

Any kind of automatic tax increase amounts to taxation without representation.

If the Legislature does nothing to correct the perpetual automatic gas tax hikes, we’re confident that a repeal question will be on the November ballot for voters to decide – and further, that the outcome is pre-ordained. The voters will repeal it.

You can easily avoid by legislative action imposing the needless time, effort, campaign fund-raising and spending otherwise necessary by citizens to ensure this.

If not, then this will become a major issue leading up to the November election.

Assuming you will be running for re-election, can you defend your position in favor of taxation without representation?
