A Correction to the Car Tax Post

Rep. Jon Brien of Woonsocket has brought to my attention the section of the House Journal from June 8 (pg. 2), where his intention to vote against the amendment lowering the statewide car-tax exemption from $3,000 to $500 was entered into the official record.

With that change, Rep. Brien should be counted in the group of legislators who voted against the the final car-tax exemption budget article which reduced the $6,000 exemption (and the associated reimbursement), against the amendment that lowered the exemption from the initially proposed new value of $3,000 to $500, and in favor of a uniform reimbursement rate for all RI cities and towns.
