In a painful blow to our community,
especially the poor, incumbent Joe Morelle votes to keep
gasoline tax at all time high! Sam Trapani was present
on the Assembly floor to observe the vote.
"With our Upstate economy so poor it
would have been a boom to have increased tourism for the
summer vacation season. I couldn't believe my eyes
when Assembly Tourism Committee Chairman Morelle voted
against the reduced tax on gasoline for the limited summer
vacation season".
This is indicative of Speaker Sheldon
Silver's "Downstate Agenda" whereby New York City will be
the benefactor of the "windfall" gas tax paid by Upstate
drivers. A significant majority of Downstate residents
use mass transit and don't purchase gasoline. |
