Opposition grows to gas line tax initiative in Montana
Gov. Bonners interim highway financing committee reports some opposition to the gas line tax plan for the November ballot. George Schotte, committee chair, says more information on highway revenues is needed to gather about 18 000 signatures across at least 23 counties. Sixteen smaller counties have exceeded quotas with roughly 3 000 signatures. The measure would raise about 1 800 000 dollars yearly by a one cent per gallon gasoline tax. Schotte urges petition circulators to collect signatures quickly for county clerk filing and eventual secretary of state certification by July 3. The panel explores ways to speed the campaign at its Monday meeting.
