Maine governor tries to help logging truckers

Maine governor tries to help logging truckers

Maine Gov. John Baldacci last week signed a civil emergency declaration to help independent logging truck operators hurt by sky-high diesel fuel prices. The state will expedite weekly fuel tax reimbursements for logging truck operators and other off-road diesel users while working with gas station operators to find a way to avoid charging the tax at the pump, the Associated Press reported.

"Diesel prices in Maine are at all-time highs, and it is having a devastating impact on our economy, and particularly on the forest products industry," Baldacci told the AP. Logging industry representatives said as many as 20 percent of the independent logging truck operators could go out of business if something is not done, said David Farmer, the governor's spokesman.
