The state Senate is expected to this week to debate a bill that would increase the state’s fuel tax to generate funds for transportation.

The bill, sponsored by Senator Doug Libla (R-Poplar Bluff) would raise the state’s gas tax by two cents a year for three years. That would only generate enough money to keep Missouri from losing federal transportation dollars that it has to match a quarter of or lose, according to Senator Mike Kehoe (R-Jefferson City).
