Rep. Blackshear is preparing to introduce a bill on behalf of Russell County that would repeal Local Act 859 of the 1967 First Special Session. This act ensures that 10% of state fuel tax revenue is allocated to Phenix City to fund the maintenance and repair of streets, roads, and bridges within city limits.
