Andrus proposes three highway tax plans to fund Idaho roads
Gov Cecil D Andrus presented three highway fund tax proposals to raise gas and diesel taxes and engine displacement fees. One plan would distribute funds to all governments with a three cent engine tax, another would favor counties and districts with a two and a half cent engine tax, and a basic plan would tax one cent per gallon and one cent per engine displacement. He said the extra revenue would push Idaho toward $72.1 million for construction and $219 million for maintenance in 1977 and stressed federal funding risks and job creation.
