The built-in inflation adjustment to Wisonsin’s gas tax was also stopped in 2005, causing the tax to slowly lose real value over time.
The reality is that vehicles are getting better fuel economy as a result of government regulations which is having a revers effect on generating highway taxes as the tax is based on per gallon consumption.
A governmental self defeating program make cars more fuel efficient get less tax money.
Kind of like the cigarette tax less people smoke less taxes collected.
Well Thank God. We need more taxes like these. It is a high tax to begin with. In 2014 we ranked 15th highest state gas tax. And that is without the inflation adjustment for 10 years.
