N C Delegation Rejects Governor Gasoline Tax Grab
New Orleans May 17 Governor Long's plan to raise highway funds faced a rebuke as 15 members of the New Orleans House delegation publicly opposed funding the gasoline tax. The group issued a unanimous statement after a caucus saying the state should reject any further funding into the gasoline tax. The move undermines Long's push and signals strong opposition within the delegation and Republican regulars in Baton Rouge. The measure would need 67 votes in the House and opponents count 45 to 50, with 34 to defeat a constitutional amendment.
