Nebraska fuel tax to increase
Nebraska fuel tax to increase
4/14/08
Quote:
The Nebraska Legislature has voted to override a veto from Gov. Dave Heineman that allows the state’s fuel tax to increase by about a penny a gallon. The increase is expected to put the state’s per-gallon tax at 26.7 cents.
The increase will generate about $14.5 million for the Department of Roads next year. The funds will be used to cover the agency’s rising salaries and health insurance costs without dipping into construction funds.

Heineman previously vetoed the portion of the state budget – LB959 – that required a fuel tax increase of about 1.2 cents per gallon starting July 1, 2008. In the days following the veto, senators took up pursuit of the 30 votes needed to override the governor. The override attempt passed on a 34-15 vote.

Facing a projected $14 million shortfall in federal highway funds this year, supporters said the tax increase is needed to maintain current funding for road work. They also pointed out that the current fuel excise tax is expected to remain flat while construction costs continue to escalate.
The governor was critical of the legislative action.
