Senate Transportation Chairman Open To Talk Of Road Taxes

Transportation officials have been telling us that Missouri still lacks the money needed to complete a lot of important roads – even though voters approved Amendment 3, which ends the diversion of transportation tax dollars. And, they say more money will have to come from somewhere. Senator Jon Dolan of Lake St. Louis, Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, is keeping an open mind when it comes to talk of tax increases for transportation. Dolan says he’s sure there will be no tax increase proposals passed during the coming session, but he believes it is imperative to at least look over the various ideas that might come forward.
