Assemblyman to Introduce a 3 Cent Gas Tax
Oshkosh Assemblyman William A Meyer will submit a bill to raise the state gasoline tax from 2 to 3 cents a gallon and cut motor vehicle license fees by 25 percent. He argues a 3 cent tax with lower licenses yields net gains to fund highway construction while avoiding a 4 cent tax, which could spur bootleg gasoline trade with neighboring states. He cites revenue figures for 1930 and predicts gradual growth as consumption rises, noting support from northern counties and state associations.
