COLLIER— Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart will hold a press conference in Collier County tomorrow, Wednesday, August 27th at 11:30 a.m. to highlight his CARS Act, a bill that will give Collier County commuters a tax deduction on gas expenses.  The press conference will be held at the southeast corner of the intersection of I-75 and County Road 951, in the parking lot of the Comfort Inn & Suites. 

Diaz-Balart introduced the CARS Act, or the Commuter Aid and Relief for Suburbs Act, in Washington, DC in April.  It would provide economic tax relief to commuters pinched by high gas prices and long commutes.  State Representative Matt Hudson and Collier County Commissioner Jim Coletta will also join Diaz-Balart to discuss the high cost of gas and the current energy crisis in the U.S.
