SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - The Senate Transportation Committee today killed a bill to exempt trailers from the $4 wheel tax.
Corson County Commissioner and farmer Darrin Bauer says agriculture could use a break. Bauer says in much of the proposed legislation to increase funding for state roads and bridges, agriculture will take a large hit.
Legal Counsel for the Department of Transportation Bill Nevin says all highway users should share in funding improvements.
Not all counties charge residents a wheel tax. The wheel tax is set at $4 dollars a wheel and no more than $16 per vehicle.
The committee sent the bill to the 41st day of the 39 day session
