North Dakota House, Senate at odds over proposed gas tax increase
For the first time in two decades, North Dakota lawmakers are seriously debating a gas tax increase — but agreement remains out of reach. The House narrowly advanced a 5-cent hike to help fund road repairs and unlock federal dollars, while the Senate unanimously rejected a smaller 3-cent proposal. Supporters argue the tax is a fair way to maintain critical infrastructure. Opponents counter that new taxes undermine promised property tax relief. Final decisions will now head to a conference committee. Amy Dalrymple, Michael Achterling with North Dakota Monitor has the full story.
