Road cost cut plan shields general taxes
Budget advisory committee calls for trimming the State Highway Commission request from 17.9 million to 11.9 million annually. Federal aid remains about 3 million per year plus auto license and gasoline tax revenue. With existing and rising revenues, about 15.01 million a year would be available, avoiding about 2.89 million a year in general tax funding. A total 17 million to be raised by taxes for all purposes may require a 31 cent levy, possibly 34 cents if property values fall.
