Gasoline tax hike eyed by Ohio lawmakers
A state House committee will hear arguments on a proposed 4 percent tax on the wholesale price of gasoline to raise about 100 million dollars yearly for road repairs. The plan would allocate 60 percent to local governments and 40 percent to the Ohio Department of Transportation, with hearings set for Tuesday. A separate Senate plan would divert toll revenues from the Ohio Turnpike to road repair, contingent on 1981 turnpike bond payments and toll-free maintenance pledge. Committees also consider merit selection for appellate judges, deputy voter registrars at universities and high schools, and public records law clarifications amid ongoing sessions.
