2/13/04-The Wasatch Front Regional Council, an agency that works in conjunction with local governments, is asking state lawmakers this session to consider a 5-cent increase in Utah’s fuel tax, raising money, they say, that will keep the state on track with new road projects and maintenance on existing roads.
If approved, it would put Utah’s fuel tax, currently 24.5 cents a gallon for diesel and gasoline, among the highest in the country.
