Mid-Mo Representative thinks there’s support for a gasoline tax

(MissouriNet) — Since 2020 is a major election year, the chance of a proposed gas tax hike making it to the ballot might have an uphill battle. Republican State Representative Chuck Bayse of  Rocheport hopes that’s not the case.

Missouri voters rejected a proposed 10-cent gas tax increase last November that would have raised the state’s 17-cent gasoline tax for the first time in more than 20 years.

Pre-filing of bills started yesterday for the next session of the Missouri Legislature beginning in January.
