The White Salmon City Council is gathering information on vehicle license fee to provide additional funding for street maintenance.  Mayor David Poucher says the state of Washington has been cutting back funds they had shared with cities, including privatization of liquor stores eliminating much of that income and a car tax that went directly to the city.  The state is now allowing cities to form transportation benefit districts and impose fees on vehicle licenses starting at $20 and eventually getting to $50.  Poucher says the Council is gathering information and would at least have a public hearing before making any decisions.  Poucher added he would want to see a vote of the people before adding any type of tax.
