CONNERSVILLE APPROVES WHEEL TAX

(Connersville, IN)--Connersville City Council met Monday night for less than ten minutes and for one purpose…to approve a wheel tax for the city.  Passage of a wheel tax is now necessary for municipalities to be eligible for Community Crossings grant money to maintain streets and roadways.  Mayor Chad Frank on Monday night made one thing clear.  "We're not changing the current city wheel tax.  The rate stays exactly the same.  The taxpayer will not see any difference," Frank said.  Council unanimously approved passage.
