Indiana Gas Tax Holiday Funds Local Governments | Chicago News

Indiana’s governor, Mike Braun, is pulling off a fiscal trick: returning all lost gas tax revenue from April and May to local governments, ensuring towns and cities aren’t left out while drivers enjoy lower fuel prices. Funds will be moved from the State Highway Fund and should hit local coffers within a week. This move, framed as smart, efficient governance, shows the state can cut taxes without hurting communities — and officials are eyeing similar relief for August and September, aiming to make all local governments whole by November. While the Indiana Department of Transportation may take a temporary hit, reserves will keep road projects rolling. But long-term funding solutions? That’s still up for debate with the state legislature.
