The clock is ticking on the 2015 session and legislators have yet to guard Kentucky’s city and county roads and bridges from the consequences of a pending 5.1 cent drop in the motor fuels tax rate. Nearly half of motor fuels revenue that the state collects goes back to local governments — through the County Road Aid (18.3 percent), Municipal Road Aid (7.7 percent) and Rural Secondary Aid (22.2 percent) programs — for building, maintaining and improving the transportation network that our local communities and economies rely on.
