Iowa to receive 144 million under federal gas tax hike
The House Public Works Committee says Iowa will gain 144 million this fiscal year from a nickel per gallon gas tax increase. Iowa received 89 million from the highway trust fund in 1982 and will get 0.94 dollars back per dollar its motorists contribute. Rep. Tom Tauke supports the idea but criticizes trucker tax increases and warns of potential consequences including a strike. House Republicans anticipate Senate passage despite filibuster talk.
