Gasoline tax hike is on table in Danville

DANVILLE – Members of the city council's public works committee are considering the city's gasoline tax as a way to generate more money for much-needed street projects.

The committee, which met Tuesday night, will have a special meeting next week to consider a proposal that would establish an enterprise fund for motor-fuel taxes and increase the taxes by as much as 5 cents.
