My Constituents Don't Want a Gas Tax Hike

Metzgar Leads the Charge Against Property Taxes

During the recent floor debate over House Bill 1439, which provided an exemption from the real estate assessment for agricultural structures known as “high tunnels” or “hoop houses,” an amendment was proposed that would have instituted yet another property tax on land owners. This one in particular would tax landowners that may own their gas rights.

I was outraged that anyone would dare to propose another property tax, let alone a redistributive proposal further burdening already over taxed landowners and using the money to fund mass transit.

Here are my comments on the floor of the House:

Rep. Carl Walker Metzgar is shown here during the recent Sportsmen’s Expo event. With Rep. Metzgar is John Clites of Buffalo Mills, a Certified Range Safety Officer for the National Rifle Association, who conducted an informational session as an event vendor.
