Houston County Commissioners Mark Culver, Jackie Battles and Doug Sinquefield were in the meeting. While no account of who supported and opposed, we must assume the three Houston County Commissioners were in support of the tax increase of $ 1.2 BILLION dollars in Alabama
The Association of County Commissions of Alabama voted today to seek legislative approval of a $1.2 billion bond issue for road construction during next year’s legislative session.
The plan calls for a 3-cent tax on gasoline and diesel fuel to pay off the bonds. The tax would expire when the bonds are paid off.
ACCA Executive Director Sonny Brasfield said no counties voted against the plan at today’s meeting in Montgomery. He said about 53 counties were represented at the meeting.
