Branstad says He'll Ask for Gas Tax Hike Next Session

Appearing on "Iowa Press" today, Gov. Branstad says he will ask the next legislative session to consider raising the gasoline tax and vehicle registration fees to raise money to maintain the state's roads and bridges. The Des Moines Register reports a recent study found 22% of Iowa's almost 25,000 bridges were deficient. A February poll found 68% of residents don't want a gas tax hike. It was last raised in 1989.
