THE GAS TAX – Part Three

Now let’s look at the numbers that have resulted from the tax increase. I’m a numbers guy so this is where I live in the legislature. First, let’s take a look at where the cities and counties were before HB 473. Since 1993 they shared around $16.5 million based on miles of roads and population.
