A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY
COUNCIL OPPOSING AB X8 6/SB X8 6,
FUEL TAX SWAP PROPOSALS
WHEREAS, the Legislature and the Governor of the State of California are
considering adopting legislation that would replace the sales tax on gasoline with an
excise tax; and
WHEREAS, the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 42 and
Proposition 1A of 2006, which reserved the sales tax on gasoline for capital
improvement projects, public transit, and local streets and roads; and
WHEREAS, eliminating the sales tax on gasoline undermines the will of the
voters; and
WHEREAS, similar legislation in the past to replace one source of local
government revenue with another source has resulted in the long-term erosion of local
government revenue.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council opposes
AB X8 6/SB X8 6, the Fuel Tax Swap proposals.
