Gas Station Owners Warn Over Border Highway Tax Plan
Kansas gas station owners along the Missouri border warn that the Governor’s Highway Task Force proposal for 1.58 billion in new roads would trigger an indexed inflation tax hike. Gas and diesel taxes would rise to 16 and 18 cents per gallon in 1988, with annual 5 percent increases projected to reach 23.4 and 25.4 cents by 1996. Local operators fear higher costs push them out of business and may shift border shoppers to Missouri.
