Gas guzzler bill targets fuel inefficient cars
Sen. McNeill Smith of Guilford proposes an annual surcharge by the North Carolina Department of Revenue on gas guzzling autos to push Detroit toward better fuel efficiency. Cars under 11 mpg would pay 150 dollars, 11-16 mpg 50 dollars, 17-20 mpg 10 dollars, 21 mpg and up exempt. The tax would apply to 1976 models and later, with revenue minus admin costs funneled into the highway fund for a mass transit program.

Budget Deficit Looms As Revenues Fall In North Carolina
RALEIGH AP North Carolina faces a bleaker budget outlook with Sen. Ralph Scott noting a need to trim 40 to 50 million dollars annually for the next two years to avoid a deficit. Lt. Gov. Jim Hunt and Sen. Mills joined a news conference as subcommittee cuts totaled 7.2 million, with deficits projected from 96 to 240 million depending on estimates. Hunt warned the revenue picture looks pessimistic and tax changes may be difficult, but no deficit financing will occur as officials pursue cuts to preserve essential services.
