State panel weighs gas tax hike to cover losses
Alfred L. Scanlan leader of Maryland state local fiscal relations task force told the Maryland Municipal League conference in Frederick that gasoline revenue losses from conservation and shortages threaten fiscal stability. He said the 11 member panel may push the General Assembly in 198 an increase in the gas tax, currently 9 cents per gallon, with possible proportional rate rises tied to price. He warned fuel shortages will continue and action is needed quickly. The conference opened with welcomes from Frederick officials and included Lt. Gov. Sam Bagley and former Prince George’s County Executive Winfield Kelly among attendees. Scanlan also said Baltimore metro area rail service may require special districts and funding from sales or other taxes to stay afloat.
