Commissioners repeal $5 road fee in Lawrence County
Lawrence County commissioners voted to rescind the $5 per state vehicle registration road fee, despite pleas from Dan Kennedy and about 30 township officials and residents. The fee, collected by PennDOT, had yielded roughly $400,000 yearly to municipalities for road work since 2021 under Act 93, with townships warning tax increases may be needed if the fee ends.
