Gas Tax Hike Debate Divides Kansas Officials
Kansas lawmakers and the State Highway Commission clash over funding for highway construction in 1959. The commission urges a six to seven million dollar gas tax increase to match federal funds, arguing current revenue falls short and users pay for roads. The Petroleum Industries Committee counters with lower projected needs, asserting existing resources suffice. Johnson notes discrepancies in income and expenditures between the two groups, highlighting that federal matching funds require more state investment. The debate centers on whether a five cent gas tax hike is necessary and how it would affect state projects and counties.
