Next Step in Fighting the Ferry Tax | Eastern NC Now

For Immediate Release:

Send NC DOT your written objections before 4/16/13.

    Tuesday, April 16, 2013 is the deadline for comments about the proposed rules, including ferry tax amounts, addressed to the NC Dept. of Transportation. Please write a letter or email your objections as a written comment to the following address:

NC Dept. of Transportation

Raleigh, NC 27699-1598

    There is no limit to the information you can send to support our objections to increased ferry taxes. It does not matter if you feel you are repeating yourself. Take this opportunity to object and give your specific reasons why the ferry tax is unreasonable.

    After the 4/16/13 deadline, the NC DOT will make its final decision and submit it to the NC Rules Review Commission. We will have the opportunity to submit objections to the RRC at the proper time. (You cannot send them anything yet.)

    I will send further instructions when it is time to submit objections to the NC Rules Review Commission.

    As soon as further ferry tax legislative is filed, I will notify you. (Nothing yet this week.)

    Please do NOT FORWARD this email to Mr. Robbins. Send him a fresh email or written letter.

    If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call me. Thank you!
