Resolution to review funding from the State Gas Tax
Vance:
You may want to look at the resolution above that commits the council to review the revenues from the state gas tax.
Keep in mind that the gas tax is not a stable funding resource, as people drive more fuel efficient cars and buy less fuel when the price point gets too high. Gas tax revenues have not kept up with transportation related inflation. This comprehensive proposal recognizes the need for a significant increase in the State Gas Tax, while recognizing that our system can not run on gas tax alone.
