DANVILLE – Citing the poor condition of many city streets and the lack of a steady way to pay for repairs, the city council voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to increase the city's gas taxes starting May 1.
In addition, starting in 2009, the city's gas tax will automatically increase every year at a rate equal to 2 percent of the state's motor-fuel use tax. If the 5-cent gas tax had started last year, for example, the tax rate this year would be 5.32 cents per gallon.
