GA: Libertarians Oppose Republican-Led Tax Increases

From The Weekly:

ATLANTA, Ga., (April 23, 2010) - Late Wednesday evening, both chambers of the General General Assembly passed legislation allowing counties to join into regions with taxing power to create funding for transportation projects, similar to how SPLOSTs and other local optional sales taxes work now.

While recognizing that traffic is a problem in Metro Atlanta and the rest of Georgia, the Libertarian Party has opposed this tax in previous sessions, and continues to oppose it now.

Libertarians reject the concept that we can tax ourselves into prosperity, despite the claims of the so-called "Get Georgia Moving" coalition. This will be one of the largest tax increases in state history, coming on the heels of a deep recession.
