Governor Evers won’t rule out the possibility of paying for roads without a gas tax increase.
Majority Republican leaders in the Legislature said last week they won’t accept the $0.08 per gallon gas tax hike that Evers put in his budget. Instead, Republicans say they’re looking at raising a variety of other fees, by an unspecified amount.
Evers wouldn’t say whether he would support or oppose a roads plan that doesn’t raise the gas tax. Evers says if Republicans can “magically” improve roads without doing that, he’ll look at it.
