Lisman Ad As hardworking, over-taxed Vermonters are driving to and from work, starting tomorrow many will hear a radio ad from Bruce Lisman about Phil Scott’s call for a new mileage tax. Scott called for a mileage tax during a July 19 Vermont Public Television event in Rutland and has not back away from it at subsequent public forums. “A new mileage tax will hurt Vermonters. Residents who drive long distances to work and are struggling to make ends meet, will be punished the most,” says Bruce Lisman in the ad.
The ad will begin airing on Thursday, July 28 and be on many radio stations throughout Vermont.

Here is a transcript of the 60-second ad:
Voice-over (VO): Listen to Phil Scott talk about imposing a mileage tax on already-over-taxed Vermonters:
Phil Scott: We’re going to, in the future, have to look at some type of a mileage tax.
VO: That’s right Scott wants another tax on driving
Phil Scott: We’re going to, in the future, have to look at some type of a mileage tax.
Bruce Lisman: This is Bruce Lisman. Sadly, Phil Scott is out of touch. More taxes are not the answer! A new mileage tax will hurt Vermonters. Residents who drive long distances to work and are struggling to make ends meet, will be punished the most.
Instead of raising taxes, we need to get spending under control. That’s why I’m running for Governor.
VO: Bruce Lisman will lead Vermont in a new direction, a better direction. Vote for Change. Vote Tuesday, August 9 for Republican Bruce Lisman for Governor.
Paid for by Lisman for Vermont, Beverly Biello Treasurer.
