Reader James A. Hollomon argues the Senate bill to tax gasoline undermines the house approved motor vehicle license schedule, warning it threatens Georgia’s highway program funded by fifty million dollars in state road bonds. He says the house plan, backed by Georgia Automobile Association, is better for motorists and regional interests.

Revolutionary Motor Tax Scheme Threatens Georgia Roads
The Georgia Senate considered amending the motor license tax bill to levy 1 percent on gasoline imports, a proposal critics call destructive to highway development. Senator Ben Towler led the effort to strike tax increases, then Brown’s substitute passed with a 1.5 cent gasoline tax, raising fears it would shift burdens to households and farmers statewide. Supporters argue new industries need backing, while opponents warn the move could stifle progress and burden fuel users across Georgia.
