Governor proposes fuel tax plan and road fund diversion
A Maryland Petroleum Industries Committee report outlines Governor Nice’s plan to divert 46 MW TD from the paseline Gayceceaptyre to state funds. Protesters at a Tuesday hotel meeting accuse the plan of diverting road funds and boosting a wholesalers tax. The governor suggests two new taxes, including a 2 cent gas wholesaler tax, but oil dealers say current gasoline taxes already place the burden on the public. The governor argues a $10 million supplemental fund is needed and promises to consider alternatives to avoid diverting road funds. The Tuesday meeting is at 7:30 PM in the Blue and Grey room of the hotel.
