Highway Fund Left Untouched Says Arkansas Official
Highway Commissioner John B. Crain stated that as long as the agency's funds are not tampered with the commission won't oppose proposed road financing solutions for cities and counties. Several ideas to raise revenue, including soft drink and gasoline taxes, were discussed, with a bill by Smith proposing one third of highway revenues over 68 million to be shared by cities and counties, possibly adding up to about one million dollars per jurisdiction. Crain said he does not oppose revenue-raising measures but emphasized no stance against outcomes that boost funds and noted no entry into the truck weight and license fee debates. The legislature has advanced a truck weight bill, while related license fee increases stalled, and Crain criticized efforts to shift county road and ferry costs.
