Morrissett Warns Orange On Road Plan Change
State Tax Commissioner CC Morrissett told Orange Chamber of Commerce that leaving the county in the current plan would ruin local road funding. He said the county would lose $2,000,000 from Legislature support and rely only on the 1 cent gasoline tax, risking dire fiscal straits without the state system. He noted Virginia’s highway investment and commented on the structure and costs of the highway commission.
