Iowa considering $300 million highway bonds and gas tax hike
Iowa lawmakers tentatively approved a plan to issue up to 300 million in highway bonds and raise the gasoline tax by two cents per gallon. The package also reallocates 10 percent of sales tax revenue to the road use tax fund and shifts road funds among state, county, and city jurisdictions to boost highway construction. The move faces Governor Ray’s opposition over earmarking sales tax revenue.
