Gas tax proposal hits jam in House committee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A key vote on efforts to boost transportation funding in Tennessee has been put off by at least a week.
House Transportation Subcommittee Chairwoman Terri Lynn Weaver on Wednesday decided to first take up a rival proposal to Gov. Bill Haslam’s plan introduced by Republican Rep. David Hawk. When Weaver refused to take up a Democratic effort to add a sales tax exemption for baby formula, the sponsor successfully moved to adjourn.
