Video: Gas Tax Plan In Alabama To Go In Front Of Legislature

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) – The Association of County Commissions of Alabama has voted to seek legislative approval of a $1.2 billion bond issue for road construction during next year’s legislative session.

The plan calls for a 3-cent tax on gasoline and diesel fuel to pay off the bonds. The tax would expire when the bonds are paid off.

A bill to raise the gasoline tax by 6 cents a gallon failed in the Legislature this year, and similar proposals died last year.

The legislative session begins Feb. 7.
