Lawmaker fights tire tax exemption dispute
Eight lawmakers sought to exempt tires sold for new trucks from a 1 percent tax that affected Freightliner in Gaston County and Caterpillar in Johnston County. Rep Vernon Abernethy protested the House vote arguing reimbursements were owed, prompting clashes with Speaker Dan Blue and Finance chair George Miller. The issue moved to the Senate for possible consideration as Abernethy vows to continue legal challenges.
