Head Of N.C. Petroleum And Convenience Marketers Outlines Key Issues

    RALEIGH — With the nation's second-largest network of state-maintained roads and one of the nation's highest gasoline taxes, North Carolina is likely to look at long-term transportation funding challenges.

    Gary Harris, executive director of N.C. Petroleum and Convenience Marketers, discussed those challenges and the history of the state gas tax during a presentation Monday to the John Locke Foundation's Shaftesbury Society.

    In the video clip below, Harris responds to the announcement last week of Gov. Pat McCrory's 25-year transportation plan.

One place he is dead wrong = non-tax fuel for farms. The diesel must NOT be in any vehicle on the paved roads beyond a tractor moving to another field. ANY farmer playing the game of using red-dyed fuel in transport trucks of any others, can be fined through the nose for such. In addition, they DOT examines all the fuel purchased and applies normal tax (about .36 per gallon) to such. It's not pretty and farmers do not get a tax-free ride on NC highways.
