Iowa Panel recommends gas-tax increase

摘要

A citizen's commission in Iowa has recommended increasing the state's gasoline tax and registration fee for new vehicles and also recommended creating a new user fee for hybrid vehicles, the Sioux City Journal reported.rnThe goal of the commission's recommendations is to raise the $215 million needed to fix the state's critical infrastructure. More than $1 billion would be needed to cover all of the state's transportation needs, according to a state survey.
