Maryland Senate kills truck tax proposal in 1981 session
The Maryland Senate Budget and Taxation Committee rejected a $12 million trucking tax aimed at funding bridge repairs by an 8 to 4 vote. Supporters vow to revive the bill before Monday midnight, while a House Ways and Means Committee delay on a gasoline tax could end the measure. Governor Hughes urged passage in original form, but committee members favored amendments. The proposal would raise gas prices by one cent per gallon annually for five years, directing funds to the transportation fund amid calls for better tax collection on in state and out-of-state carriers.
