Rep. Savage’s Vote Explanation for H.510

Posted on April 25, 2013 by VTHouseGOP

Rep. Savage of Swanton explained his vote as follows:

“Mr. Speaker:
As we are all aware our transportation infrastructure is the heart and soul of
our economy and our State. We should not neglect it nor should we short
change our other obligations to pay for it. I appreciate the hard work of the
Transportation Committee; they have worked long and hard, many hours in
offering this amendment this morning. However I cannot support this bill
because I cannot support some of the choices to fund this bill. Many of my
constituents and over 13000 other Vermonters have expressed their opposition
to the increase in the gas tax and now the diesel tax. Working Vermonters again will be the brunt of this choice to raise the gas and diesel taxes. Our small businesses along the NH and MA borders are already at a significant disadvantage and this will make it worse.
