Some Missouri lawmakers are rallying around a proposal to raise the gas tax by 2 cents to help forestall a transportation funding shortfall that officials have warned could jeopardize the state receiving federal dollars.
The Missouri Senate and a House committee on Tuesday considered similar measures that would increase the per gallon fuel tax from the current 17 cents to 19 cents, effective in January 2016. Supporters say the measure would not have to go before voters and would be an initial step to addressing urgent transportation funding needs.
