Gas Tax Split Debate Opens in Iowa Senate Hearing
Iowa lawmakers convene a key hearing on road use tax allocations of 116.5 million with calls for a cooling off period amid disputes between municipal and county road advocates.

The discussion covers funding sources, rural versus urban needs, and potential tax tweaks to raise additional funds.
