Gasoline Tax Reform Proposed by Texas Rep Sadler
Rep Jerry Sadler of Percilla proposes replacing the Texas retail gasoline tax with a levy on refineries. He claims the plan would add about 47 million dollars in state revenue annually and about 160 million from the low per gallon refined fuel tax, offset by eliminating the 113 million retail tax last year. He notes most of the new tax burden would fall on nonresidents and argues refiners would not leave Texas. Governor Shivers backs the retail tax reform debate.
