Governor directs state to reimburse local governments for gas tax holiday revenue

Indiana's Governor Mike Braun has announced that the state will reimburse local governments for any lost revenue from a gas tax suspension that took place in May. This move comes after the temporary halt on fuel taxes, which had an impact on local budgets. By directing State Budget Director Chad Ranney to transfer funds from the State Highway Fund, the state aims to offset the financial losses local governments faced due to the gas tax holiday. This decision is crucial as it ensures local governments can continue their essential services without budgetary strain.
