The Idaho State Police used to get 6 percent of the state highway user fund revenue, which mainly comes from the gas tax. Then, in 1992 it went to 5.4 percent, and in 2000, it went to 5 percent. Some lawmakers questioned whether perhaps the amount should be increased, but others said there's no point - it's going away, and 6 percent of nothing is nothing, noted Sen. Dean Cameron, R-Rupert. Rep. Rich Wills, R-Glenns Ferry, said a different funding source is needed. "It just was not working with that formula, regardless of the percent," he said. "We were losing more every year."
