VTrans to Receive an Unexpected Gift

The Agency of Transportation gets an unexpected boost in funds. Although $4.3 million short of what the Agency needs for extra money this year due to miscalculated projections on gasoline sales and motor vehicle purchases, $3.7 million was reallocated into the Transportation Fund. State Financial watchdogs discovered that a portion of jet fuel tax revenues had been going to the wrong fund for nearly a decade. The $3.7 million - the total amount misplaced since 1999 - was recently moved from the state's General Fund into its rightful home. [Source: Burlington Free Press]
