Trickle Down on Taxes and Roads in Permian Basin
In the Permian Basin oil boom, roadways face heavier traffic and wear while oil and gas tax revenues largely return to state coffers not earmarked for roads. The basin leads Texas in crude and natural gas output with more rigs and permits, producing about 30 percent more crude than Eagle Ford. Tax figures show Ector County $29 million and Midland County $42 million from January 2012 to April 2013.
