Wake Motorists Unite to Seek Tax Relief in North Carolina
The Wake County unit of the North Carolina Motorists Tax Relief Association formed with gas, oil, and auto accessory dealers pushing to cut the six cent state gasoline tax, the one cent federal gas tax, and the four cent lubricating oil tax. Organizer R M Allen notes motorists bear a large share of state revenue and rising costs hurt auto ownership, with registration and sales of gasoline and tires declining. The group vows vigorous opposition to taxes on autos and related products.
