Haddaway-Riccio Meets with Motor Truck Association

This week Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio met with representatives of the Maryland Motor Truck Association (MMTA).  She toured a motor truck and talked with professional truck drivers about the impact that a proposed sales tax on gasoline would have on their industry and about their focus on safety. 

Delegate Haddaway-Riccio opposes an increase in the gas tax and also opposes a sales tax on gas, which she believes would be even more expensive and detrimental to Marylanders. 

The Maryland Motor Truck Association is a non-profit trade organization of Maryland's commercial trucking industry that has been in existence since 1935.  It is one of the largest trucking associations in the country, representing 1,000 member companies.
