Auto Club Seeks Court Action To Protect Road Funds
The Ohio State Automobile Association plans legal action to keep twenty two million dollars of motor vehicle tax revenue next year for highway maintenance and repairs. The suit centers on whether Kent may transfer seven thousand dollars from street repair to the general fund. If upheld, other cities could face similar transfers. The group argues Section 6809-2 requires motor funds be used only for road upkeep and not diverted to new uses.
