Ehringhaus Defends Emergency Role of Sales Tax

He argues revenue needs and school and highway costs prevent quick repeal and outlines three possible paths if the tax ends. He notes a misrepresentation that he or lawmakers seek a permanent sales tax and cautions against any plan that would replace it with broader property or gas taxes.
