Farm Bureau blasts tractor tax proposal in West Virginia
Mason County Farm Bureau directors condemned a $15 tractor license tax in House Bill 187 and Senate Bill 65 now before the Charleston legislature. A three member lobbying team headed to Charleston to oppose the measure, arguing farmers already pay road taxes via car and truck licenses and gas taxes and that poor secondary roads in Mason County lessen vehicle use. They warned licensing tractors would hurt implement dealers and farming income, calling the plan taxation without use.
