The 3-bill Bi-partisan package to raise the state’s gasoline tax has been introduced by Reps. Richard Ball (R-Laingsburg) and Pam Byrnes (D-Chelsea).

House Bills 5768-5770 would, among other things:

* raise the gas tax by 4 cents immediately on gasoline with another 4 cent increase in 2013;

* gradually bring the diesel tax into line with the gasoline tax;

* set aside the funds in a Transportation Investment Fund that would be immune to siphoning for other state departments; and

* guarantee the full 10% off-the-top commitment to the Comprehensive Transportation Fund (CTF) which funds public transit.
