Economists push Iowa fuel tax hike for highway upgrades
ISU economist David Swenson and Creighton’s Ernie Goss urged a 4 cent annual fuel tax rise over two years to fund highways. They say the cost is small for households, about 32 dollars yearly with a 10 cent bump, and that improved roads will boost Iowa’s economy. Branstad backs 50 million in savings and will study other options.
