Democratic state Rep. John Clemmons of Nashville has gotten ahead of Gov. Bill Haslam gotten ahead of Republican Gov. Bill Haslam in proposing a plan for raising Tennessee’s fuel taxes, reports the Nashville Post. His draft legislation includes a new stream of revenue for mass transit – something he thinks Haslam will omit.
Haslam, of course, has been pitching the general idea of revenue enhancement to build and better maintain roads for two years and is expected to finally roll out a proposal by Jan. 30.
