4/5/05-A bill in the Senate Natural Resources and Transportation Committee would end automatic indexing of the state’s fuel tax.
SB156, sponsored by Sen. Tim Carpenter, D-Milwaukee, would require lawmakers to annually vote on any tax changes.
The automatic increase in the tax has been adjusted for inflation on April 1 each year since 1985. This year, the tax increased 0.8 cents a gallon.
