A diverse coalition of supporters is backing the extension of gas tax indexing in Clark County, as reported by the Nevada Current. Gas tax indexing allows for the automatic adjustment of the gas tax to keep up with inflation, without the need for legislative approval. The coalition believes that this measure is necessary to ensure that the revenue from the gas tax keeps pace with the rising costs of maintaining roads and bridges in the county.
The coalition includes business groups, labor unions, environmental organizations, and local government officials. They argue that without an extension of gas tax indexing, the county will face a significant funding shortfall for critical infrastructure projects. The coalition is urging lawmakers to support this measure in order to protect the safety and efficiency of the county’s transportation system.
The extension of gas tax indexing has bipartisan support and is seen as a common-sense solution to ensuring adequate funding for infrastructure maintenance. Supporters are hopeful that lawmakers will listen to their arguments and pass the necessary legislation to extend gas tax indexing in Clark County.
