Move To Abolish Gas Tax Job Fails In Houston County
A motion to abolish the deputy collector of the gasoline tax job in Houston County failed at a Board of Revenue meeting. Delegations for and against spoke, with W Parry Calagis proposing abolition again, but no concrete motion followed. City official J L Vaughn cited $1,701.85 paid by Dothan for gasoline tax collection in 12 months, arguing savings would not materialize. Tom Innes opposed elimination, warning of unchecked dumping by out-of-county firms. This was the third time the issue was raised after earlier tabled motions in January and February.
