ND Legislature declines gas-tax increase for transportation infrastructure
The North Dakota Senate’s decision to vote down a bill to raise the state’s gas tax is completely incongruent with some senators’ contention that owners of #electricvehicles and hybrids need to pay a “road-use fee” to cover their share of road construction and maintenance.
If there’s no need to raise the gas tax, why stick it to EV and hybrid owners?
