IFTA FULL TRACK PRELIMINARY BALLOT PROPOSAL #7-2008

Upon review of the comments presented in response to this ballot, the Board understands that certain complications are presented that will need to be addressed in order for the ballot to be acceptable to a majority of the membership. In light of the unique difficulty posed by alternative fuels when used interchangeably with other fuels with differing tax rates, the Board feels strongly that the effort to identify more suitable wording must involve the membership directly. Therefore, the Board has decided to defer on any possible changes to the ballot at this time, in order to have the opportunity first to engage membership at the ABM, at which time the options that are being explored by the Alternative Fuels Committee will also be discussed. Based on the feedback at the ABM, the Board will determine whether to either withdraw the ballot, or proceed with changes.
