Iowa gas tax hike eyed to ease road funding gap
Iowa legislators consider a 3 cent per gallon increase in gasoline and diesel taxes to raise about 54 million yearly, boosting state road funding from 10 to 13 cents for gasoline and diesel, while preserving county minimums. The plan revises road fund allocations, updates needs studies, and may realign highways by shifting some primary system roads to counties.
