While 37 areas get a temporary reprieve, others are already back to higher rates. Republicans argue the savings are negligible while state coffers lose millions needed for crumbling infrastructure. Governor Beshear counters that putting money back in families’ pockets is a win, citing state savings to cover road costs. Local leaders are split—some worry about deteriorating roads, others welcome any relief. With the tax cut set to expire June 30, the future of funding—and potential tax relief—remains uncertain.
