Seen For New Taxes To Finance Highway Plans
Senator Byrd said the Senate Finance Committee will likely approve highway tax measures as in the House plan. The 16 year revenue package totals about 14.8 billion dollars with major funds from raising the federal gasoline tax to 3 cents per gallon. Critics, including Senator Long, questioned the need for new taxes beyond the current 2 percent system. The plan faces a Monday closed session to vote on sections before possible floor action next week. Road funding would shift other revenue, and truckers oppose a 1.50 per 1,000 pounds levy on large trucks.
