These States Aren’t Waiting for Trump to Get Funds for Infrastructure

These States Aren’t Waiting for Trump to Get Funds for Infrastructure: "Republican leaders from at least six states are pushing to raise gasoline taxes or other fees to pay for upgrading roads and bridges, saying they can’t count on President Donald Trump’s $1 trillion infrastructure plan to deliver what they need.

“If a giant golden goose with a red and white and blue flag on it flies over Indiana and drops a golden egg, first we’re going to make sure it’s a golden egg and not some other dropping,” said state Representative Ed Soliday, a Republican who is helping to lead an effort that would raise the state gas tax in Indiana to 28 cents per gallon (from 18 cents), increase registration fees and explore tolling."
