Tribune Reports Little Support for Wheel Tax in Seymour

From the Seymour Tribune:

Hoosier cities and towns have a brief window to adopt a countywide wheel tax and vehicle surcharge without approval of their county councils.

That’s included in the state’s two-year, $30 billion budget that Gov. Mike Pence signed into law last week. It’s aimed at offering communities a means of raising more money to finance road and street repairs.

The wheel tax could range from $5 to $40 per vehicle.
