The Lake County Council may again consider a so-called 'wheel tax' to help pay for the maintenance and repair of local roads. Two years ago the council rejected a similar proposal. A wheel tax could be a flat tax or a tax based on a percentage of a vehicle's value. Nwi-dot-com today reports the council had to borrow five-million dollars in 2012 to repave streets with the biggest pothole issues in unincorporated parts of Lake County.
