Why this record is included
The gasoline fact is a fifteen-state Midwest regional proxy covering Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wisconsin. Motor-fuel tax is a component of retail gasoline prices in one state within that region. The failed proposal did not raise the tax or establish the September 2026 regional price. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
Retained North Dakota evidence context: Midwest regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
