est Virginia's House of Delegates faces a momentous decision after Speaker Rick Thompson departs for Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's Cabinet: choosing a new leader will help set the stage for 2014, when Republicans aim to wipe out the Democrats' ebbing majority.
CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin
is proposing eliminating a tax incentive for plug-in electric cars and
other alternatively fueled vehicles.
The $7,500 tax credit would
remain in place for vehicles that run on natural gas, propane and
butane. But it would be phased out in 2017, rather than in 2021 as is
currently scheduled.
The tax credit has been used to offset the
higher price of plug-in cars. These vehicles tend to be more expensive
than comparable models, but they require little to no gas and emit almost no
pollutants. There is still a federal tax credit for such vehicles.
The
governor's office said that if enacted, the legislation introduced on
Friday would save the state around $10 million in the next fiscal year.
