Good morning, Puyallup.

Starting July 1, residents will see gas prices increase by 6 cents per gallon as a new tax takes effect, and fees for driver licenses and vehicle registrations will also rise to fund highway construction and bridge repairs; the tax is expected to generate over $3.2 billion in six years. Local governments will receive 2.5 percent of the funds (to improve local transportation projects) as part of the plan.

A new guide from Checkbook explains how homeowners can compare quotes and check references to choose a painter for housing renovations this summer.

The guide advises getting detailed written bids and proof of insurance+ following EPA rules to ensure a safe, quality job.
