A taxing decision

I'm not sure if I'm entirely sold on Gov. Sonny Perdue's decision to suspend the state gasoline tax for the month of September. Is saving 10 cents a gallon at the pump really worth losing an estimated $75 million in tax revenue? If we were talking about savings along the lines of $1 a gallon - something which consumers could recognize as a dramatic reduction in price - that's one thing.

This, though, I'm not so sure.

He needs to take the excess gas tax revenues and use it to do something meaningful, like upgrading highway 316.

That's not a bad idea. You mean additional revenues that result from the suspension? That can't be right.
