“I commend Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr and the Senate Republican Caucus for proposing innovative and creative solutions aimed at addressing the Commonwealth’s transportation finance dilemma – without raising any taxes, fees, or fares.
In their comprehensive proposal, the Senate Republicans delineated a number of targeted proposals that deserve serious dialogue and discussion. By approaching increased revenue without burdening the taxpayers, Senator Tarr and his caucus have illustrated that broad-based tax increases don’t have to be a forgone conclusion.
I look forward to the Senate conducting a lively, fact-based debate on the Senate Republican Caucus’ alternative plan.”
