Lunsford Gas Tax

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell today announced that his campaign has launched a new ad focused on Bruce Lunsford's record on gas prices.
In 1980 as Governor John Y. Brown's chief legislative liaison , Bruce Lunsford successfully lobbied to change the way Kentucky taxes gasoline, changing it from a flat amount to indexing the tax to the wholesale cost of gasoline. This means that as the cost of gas increases the tax paid by Kentuckians automatically increases as well.
