Gas Tax Hike on Hold for Voter Decision | Orlando News
Description
Brevard County commissioners have paused a proposed gas tax hike to fund a $2.2 billion infrastructure backlog — roads, bridges, drainage — but are now leaning toward letting voters decide. With rising costs and concerns over property taxes, residents and businesses are split: some see the tax as necessary for crumbling infrastructure, others fear higher fuel prices and potential cross-county driving. As electric vehicles grow, the county also questions long-term funding models. A ballot measure could appear as late as July 28, putting the final call in voters’ hands.
