Default Manifesto
“Growth, Re-Directs, Surpluses NOW”(“Taxes” Later)
(Oh, and..NO TOLLS!!)
• Growth (GF budget base- recurring)- $50M Bonded for I/B
• Re-Directed ½ $300 Vehicle Sales Tax (recurring) – $41.4M for Secondary system
• Surplus $50M – bridges
We gave them the road map to the future.
They took the route to 2015.
Only Hope for 2014 (Gov’s Election-Year)
• $50M more Growth• Balance of Vehicle Sales Tax –
Permanent• Surplus• Maybe IRP “Road Use Fee” (in lieu
of Property Tax)• Maybe Regis. Fees• IE: More of the Same• Doubt Indexing Fuels Tax
2015?
Depends on Who’s Governor
