Temporary gasoline tax terminated in Minnesota
Minnesota ends its emergency gasoline tax effective September 1, eliminating a temporary levy first imposed in 1937 to fund highway work. The move saves motorists about 5 million dollars annually, with eleven other states set to expire similar taxes over the coming years, reducing nationwide costs by more than 83 million dollars annually. Roy Dunn argues the abolition aligns with fiscal restraint and honesty in government. Petroleum marketers hand out notices of lower prices as per gallon rates drop.
