Even though it was impor-

that important to me. You
see, they both drove Ford
trucks. One was green with
manual windows, manual
transmission and white
trim. The other was red with
power windows, automatic
transmission and white
trim. They were different in
appearance and equipment
but they had the same man-
ufacturer.

So why can’t we get

Rabid raccoon
found in KM
A raccoon picked up on
Branchwood Circle recently
has tested positive for
rabies, according to Health
Director Denese Stallings.
This makes the ninth
rabies case reported in the
county this year, and 89th
sirtce June 1998.
Stallings said that resi-
dents need to make sure
their animals are under their
direct control. Animals that
are allowed to run loose are
at risk of coming into con-
tact with a rabid animal. If
pets are not vaccinated, they
will be euthanized.
During the next six
months, anyone living in the
vicinity of Branchwood
Circle should observe their
animals for unusual behav-
ior. In addition, residents
need to make sure that all
cats and dogs have current
vaccinations.
Anyone that sees an ani-
mal demonstrating unusual
behavior should call
Cleveland County Animal
Control at 481-9884.

House bill would

House bill that would

week by Mayor Rick Murphrey.
reduce the state’s gas tax by
eliminating the wholesale
component of the motor
fuels tax. The bill is House
Bill 1679 and is currently
under review by the House
Committee on Finance.
If approved, the bill
would set the state’s motor
fuels tax at 17.5 cents.
Currently, the tax adds a
wholesale component that
could add 3.5 cents to 7 per-
cent of the average whole-
sale price of motor fuel to
the tax.
The motor fuels tax is now
24.3 cents and will increase
to 24.6 cents in July.
Moore also said it was
vital to rewrite the state’s
tax rate with the increase in
gasoline prices the state has
seen this year. “Removing
the wholesale component
would be a benefit for con-
sumers,” Moore said.
