SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon House appears to be moving toward a vote on a transportation package that would increase state gas taxes by 6 cents a gallon to help pay for road, bridge and transit construction projects.
Motorists would also pay for the plan in other ways, according to The Oregonian newspaper, which obtained specifics of the bill that has largely been kept under wraps during negotiations. Vehicle registration, which is paid every two years, would rise to $86 instead of $54. Title fees would go up $23, to $78. Fees to replace lost license plates would more than triple — from $5 to $17.
