Sen. Bernie Sanders and other top progressives have come out against the proposed federal gas tax increase.
After weeks of negotiations, the bipartisan group of lawmakers working to push through a compromise infrastructure bill said Sunday that lawmakers must consider tax hikes to pay for the bill, even though some progressives and the White House have opposed a suggested gas tax increase to finance the $1 trillion plan, setting up another potential stalemate for one of President Biden's highest priorities....
“Those are proposals that I would not support,” said the progressive lawmaker, who has refused to commit to supporting or opposing the plan due to these concerns, prompting calls for compromise from those leading negotiations over the bill.
