Okaloosa County may nearly quadruple gasoline tax revenue by adopting a 4-cent local option gas tax, boosting estimated receipts from $13.2 million to over $32 million by 1995. The plan, discussed by the MPO and consultants Post Buckley Schuh & Jernigan, could finance transportation projects while offsetting ad valorem taxes.
