While many state legislature are debating increases to their gas taxes, federal legislation to do the same may not be far behind.

The federal transportation funding bill has been extended several times and will now expire in May.

Round says they may have to continue to rely on gas taxes for the bulk of federal highway dollars…

 

Rounds says republican Senators will take that up as they work through the entire budget process this spring.
