Municipalities press for state aid amid budget strain
The piece argues cities gain little from the state gasoline tax as the legislature faces road and school spending. A proposed one cent share was defeated, but a $1.5 million increase suggested by the joint appropriations committee could raise city funding to about 2.5 times last year’s.
