Farm truck fee study prompts revenue talk in Topeka
An interim committee in Topeka studied proposed farm vehicle fee increases to raise annual revenue by about 2 million dollars. Proposals included raising farm pickup fees from 15 to 20 and farm trucks from 21 to 30 for 12 000 to 16 000 pound gross weight, and adjusting regular truck fees to 23 50. Senator Vermillion urged no immediate tax hikes, favoring bread and butter road programs. Kansas Motor Carriers Association opposed fee reductions and farm tractor gross weight liberalization, noting current farm vehicle limits and a 62 dollar annual fee.
