Highway Chief Seeks 120 Million for Maintenance Program
West Virginia Highway Commissioner Charles Miller told legislators the department needs about 120 million dollars in general revenue funds in future years to sustain the ongoing road maintenance. He outlined a plan to resurface one of every eight miles on the secondary road system and said funding would ensure repairs or resurfacing of most secondary roads every eight to ten years. Miller also stated that repealing the 2 cent per gallon gas tax hike enacted in June is not practical if maintenance continues, noting the hike raised gas taxes from 8.5 to 10.5 cents per gallon.
