GREEN INDEPENDENTS OPPOSE QUESTIONS 2 AND 4

Maine View - The Maine Green Independent Party has announced that they oppose Question 2 (excise tax) or Question 4 (TABOR II). Maine Greens believe cutting excise tax only benefits those who can afford to buy a new car, adversely impacts town budgets, and seeks to encourage alternative modes of transportation. TABOR II, according to the MGIP would limit Maine government's ability to care for those that most need help.

Glad to see that the MGIP is opposing both 2 and 4. Just to clarify, though, what does it mean that cutting excise taxes would encourage alternative modes of transportation? Or did I just read that incorrectly?
