No action on bill to hike vehicle fees in Nebraska
Nebraska legislative hearings considered raising vehicle registration and motor fuel taxes to fund road work. Support from chambers of commerce and highway groups varied from narrow increases to advocating up to 40 million dollars annually, with criticism over needs versus wants and concerns about highway wear. A separate LB 780 sought to raise county vehicle registration retention from 25 cents to 1 dollar, with treasurer costs estimated at 70 to 90 cents per transaction.
