DRAFT WLCS 426/1
HIGHWAY SALT TAX PROPOSAL
WHEREAS, there is pending legislation, specifically referred to
as Draft WLCS 426/1, commonly referred to as a Highway Salt Tax
Proposal.
AND WHEREAS, this proposal would tax the Counties $3.00 on every
ton of salt used for winter maintenance.
AND WHEREAS, this proposal would also tax any municipality and
the state on every ton of salt used for their winter maintenance
as well.
AND WHEREAS, this proposal would inflict additional expense on
the local county tax burden of $6,000 to $10,000 per year.
AND WHEREAS, this proposal does not provide reimbursement of this
tax for highway purposes and is therefore an inappropriate use of
highway user fees.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the St. Croix County Board of
Supervisors oppose this proposal and express their opposition via
this resolution.
Passed and Adopted this sixth day of September 1991.
