The plan proposed about 1.437 million dollars more revenue, potentially from a state tax shift of a former half cent gasoline levy, eliminating a second 50 percent automobile license fee cut, adjusting truck license fees, and diverting 250000 dollars yearly from the county highway turnback to the bond refunding fund.
