Novick Wants Gas Tax On May 2016 Ballot

Portland, OR)  --  Portland Commissioner Steve Novick says he'd like to see a proposal for a ten-cents-a-gallon gasoline tax go before voters in May of next year.  Novick says the tax would generate 58-million-dollars in revenue for street and traffic safety projects before it sunsets in four years.  He says poll numbers show more than half the registered voters in Portland would support such a tax.  The City Council would have to decide no later than January on whether to place the item on the May ballot.
