Gasoline Pump License Fees Could Be Cut Say Iowa Official
George Lloyd of the Iowa Petroleum Industries Committee urged abolition of the $3 annual gasoline pump license fee and the 8c per barrel oil inspection fee. He cited Secretary Thornburg's report showing last year the department collected $79,465 in inspection and pump fees, nearly three times the department's total appropriations. Lloyd called for a radical reduction or abolition, arguing fees exceed the service and tax policy should be equitably shared.
