Franklin County commissioners and County Engineer Fred Gardner travel to Topeka to lobby legislators for a one cent gasoline tax increase. They propose a three way split of revenue among state, counties, and cities, each receiving one third of every cent. Their plan aims to boost county road funding for construction and upkeep, with gasoline tax funds dedicated to highways, roads, and streets. The current state proposal would allocate half to the state and one quarter to counties and cities, with Franklin County projected to gain $27,029 annually under that plan.
