A-2 : Petroleum Tax Extension

[jennlin]

Extension of Tax on Petroleum

The legislature extended, without a vote of the people, expiration of a tax on possession of petroleum products and reduced the tax rate, costing $24,000,000 in its first ten years, for government spending. Should the tax increase be repealed?

A vote in support indicates that you want to repeal the extension. A vote in opposition means that you support the legislature's action.

tell me what this means.

thanks.

Voting for means you want the taxes to go back up, but voting against means the tax breaks can stay.


I had to read that way too many times.
Is that what you mean?

[jennlin]

yes. that's what i meant. who's paying the tax? this is more than just "gas-tax" right? is the tax going to roads and/or alternative energy research?

You got me. Is there any more info in the voter's pamphlet?
