Leche Seeks Tax Shifts On Natural Gas And Oil
Governor Leche proposes scaling the tax on lubricating oil to a percentage basis and reducing the severance tax on natural gas from five to four-fifths of a cent. He cites interstate commerce limits and aims to shift more burden to manufacturers. Additional bills include a five percent sales tax on natural gas and a two percent corporation franchise tax for gas pipelines. Proceeds fund social security, homestead exemptions, and hospital costs while administration gears up.
