RLC-GA Legislative Endorsements
By Chris Farris | March 25, 2009
The Executive Board of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Georgia has endorsed the following measures currently under consideration in the Georgia General Assembly.
We OPPOSE HB277, SB39 & SR44 – These measures will levy a 1 percent sales tax, statewide or regionally, for specified transportation projects. The Republican Liberty Caucus of Georgia stands with Governor Perdue (not often we’ve said that) in unequivocally opposing any increases in transportation taxes until the DOT is reformed so that the money is not wasted;
We OPPOSE HB 160 – Perdue’s “super speeder” bill to boost fines $200 for drivers exceeding 85 mph on Interstate highways and 75 on other roads. This measure is meant to fund “Trauma Care”. While arguable a worthy effort, the RLC-GA opposes the direct funding of any government services through Fines or Sin Taxes.
We SUPPORT HB480 & 481 – JOBS Act to cut taxes on businesses looking to hire workers and relocate to Georgia.
We Support Senate Bill 1, Zero Based Budgeting which will require the General Assembly to review all spending every four years.
