Republican Tennessee 3rd State House District candidate Timothy Hill is wanting the Tennessee General Assembly to "opt-out" of the federal highway program --- and also opt out of over $1billion in federal gasoline tax revenues currently received by the Tennessee Department of Transportation, including those originating from federal gasoline taxes paid by Tennesseans --- Hill then further advocates 18% of the remaining state gasoline tax collections to pay for the elimination of the Hall Tax on investment income (10% to reimburse local governments for their losses of Hall Tax revenue sharing and 8% for the state government to pay for the elimination of the Hall Tax on investment income).

3. More than that.

I-24
I-40*
I-65
I-75*
I-81

I-40 & I-75 are two of the most traveled roads in the country.

This guy is a real dullard!
