Propane Road Tax Face-off From MLA Weisgerber
MLA Jack Weisgerber urges British Columbia ministers to extend the motor fuel tax exemption for propane vehicles for at least three more years. He cites 35,000 propane fueled cars, mostly private, in the province and 30 percent in the Peace Region. He warns a road tax would raise costs, hurt conversions, and risk jobs, pollution, and the economy while echoing a no new taxes pledge.
