State truck law repeal urged by Santa Fe official
Kansas truckers face higher tag costs under a newly enacted law while the ten mileage tax is repealed. Santa Fe attorney Schulters told Ottawa commissioners the change burdens local haulers and shifts highway maintenance costs to others. He noted Santa Fe Trailways could save about $60,000 yearly, supporting repeal to stop state benefits for out-of-state truckers. The commissioners pledged to take the request to the legislative committee.
