Iowa approves railroad diesel tax stance to back bonds
An Iowa attorney general opinion says a 3 cent per gallon diesel tax on railroads does not violate the Constitution by taxing all trains operating in Iowa. The plan funds Railway Finance Authority bonds up to 200 million dollars to rehabilitate rail beds, with eventual Senate action and a possible 8 cent rate by 1982.
