Local gas men argued against a proposed severance tax of one and a half cents, calling it confiscatory. They contended the state would take half the gas value, far above the current three percent tax, and that such a levy would curb drilling in the northeastern region as large companies pass costs to consumers. They warned it would halt new investments by land owners.
