Bill To Cut Gasoline Tax To 3 Cents Introduced
In Pierre on January 30 the Senate received a bill from Henry J Oster Democrat to cut the state gasoline tax from four to three cents per gallon. The measure urges restoration of the tax to the level before Rural Credit debt payments began. The 1937 repeal had earmarked funds for highways, and a constitutional amendment requires all four cents to be used for highway work or maintenance. The Senate planned action and also debated tax delinquent property measures and other highway funding proposals as committees prepare for the session deadlines.
