Tax hike fuels debate over gasoline tax and road funding
In Austin on March 8 the revenue and taxation committee backed a bill by Rep. Lon E. Alsup to raise the state gasoline tax from 4 to 5 cents. A companion measure by Rep. Harold Bees would let the state assume county bonded road debt. Beck’s plan would reshuffle gasoline tax proceeds: 25 percent to schools, 35 percent to retire road bonds, and 40 percent to the highway department. County judges urged the increase would aid finances without harming highway funds.
