BOISE -- House lawmakers answered Gov. Butch Otter's
transportation funding salvo with ideas of their
own Thursday that ranged from the mundane to the
quirky, including a plans to sell specially minted
gold coins to fund asphalt repairs to a scheme to
turn Idaho into a national license plate haven.

The proposals came two days after Otter introduced
bills of his own meant to raise a total of $174

increases, including boosting the gas tax to 35
cents from 25 cents, hiking car and truck
registration fees and levying a tax on rental cars.

One of the House bills would boost the gas tax to
30 cents from 25 cents, raising about $26 million

would sell commemorative coins to collectors, then
distribute proceeds to road work.

Another example of ignorance of the difference between coins and
medals?
