Originally published at: Pennsylvania Bill Would Create New Aviation Trust Fund
The AIR Act would raise aviation fuel taxes, add aircraft registration fees and dedicate a portion of state sales tax collections to aviation programs.
While this does not sound too onerous at face value, it seems to create a whole new level of bureaucracy, state employment, and interference that Pennsylvania is famous for. How much of that income will actually go to aviation infrastructure when the state will create new funding streams, regulation, and oversight that necessitates a larger state government workforce? Will it actually add benefit to the users? Sounds much like the states ABC system.
