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.
If repealed, this critical funding source will be lost, impacting our ability to maintain and improve the roads we all depend on every day. The fuel tax revenue is essential for ensuring safe and well-maintained infrastructure for residents, businesses, and visitors.
We strongly oppose this repeal and urge our community to stay informed. Read our full statement.
