Reprieve didn't go far enough
Monday, Gov. Sonny Perdue took a bold step and dropped the state diesel fuel tax. What, no dancing in the street? What, no kudos from people far and wide, from Catoosa County to Camden County? The reason for the muted celebration is simple; Perdue's bold step wasn't quite bold enough. In fact, it was rather puny and counter-productive. Perdue limited his bold move to the off-road farm and timber industries.
