Bennett proposes truckers pay majority of highway funds
Gov. Robert F. Bennett argues trucks cause more highway damage and should finance about 70 percent of a 27.5 million rise in highway user fees. He seeks $19.4 million for roadwork and a three A program funded by higher truck tag fees and a two cent fuel tax increase. The plan also raises automobile tags by five dollars and targets larger vehicles. Mary Turkington of the Kansas Motor Carriers Association calls parts of the plan discriminatory and vows lobbying opposition.
