| 2 | A new California road repair and transportation investment package is being considered by the legislature. If passed, the bill would spend $52 billion dollars over ten years, and take steps to guarantee the money is only spent on transportation. Some of the money would be raised by a 12 cent per gallon increase in the tax on gasoline. Do you support or oppose this part of the plan? |
