RE: Transportation Advisory Committee
Gas Tax Debate
Dear Mayor Cook and Councilors,
At the July meeting of the Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee
the members agreed that the committee would sponsor a debate, sometime
in late September or October of 1986, on the county gas tax. The
committee felt that it would be beneficial to provide an opportunity
for both supporters and opponents of the county' s gas tax to air their
opinions.
The committee asked that I write a letter to you for your response
to our idea. We would like to be able to use the town hall room in the
City Hall for the debate. If you have any objections to our proposal
please advise.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
THOMAS J. SULLIVAN
Chairman
Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee
