Townhall.com::Truckers Call for Gas Tax Holiday, Question Global Warming Legislation::By Matt Purple
While New York truckers are advocating a state gas tax holiday, the trucking industry is fearful of climate change legislation currently being considered by the feds.
“The trucking industry is extremely sensitive to how climate change legislation may further escalate fuel prices,” said Randy Mullett, a vice president at American Trucking Association in a statement. “ATA is urging Congress to carefully evaluate fuel price impacts that result from climate change legislation.”
The bill in question, titled the Climate Matters Act, would regulate greenhouse gas emissions by forcing companies to buy and trade shares in order to pollute. It was introduced on Tuesday and is scheduled for a hearing before the House Ways and Means Committee next week.
