Two candidates for Alabama governor who trail in polls want gas taxes suspended. Some believe that is a bad idea.
DOTHAN, Ala. -Two Republicans who oppose incumbent Alabama Governor Kay Ivey’s reelection bid continue to push against gas taxes as pump prices hover near $4.00.
Though sympathetic to those struggling amid high prices, Houston County Chairman Mark Culver is opposed to shelving the tax. He said the county has improved about 60 miles of highway, after securing a $6 million bond issue that the gas tax will repay.Ivey, well ahead in the polls, apparently has no intention of repealing the tax that she made a priority during her first full term as governor.
