Impact analysis
No change — the agreement just formalizes the existing split of gas tax money.
Every resident who drives, since the city keeps its full share of gas tax dollars for local road needs.
If the tax is cut, the city might not have enough cash to fix roads properly, leaving everyone with bumpy streets.
