Dohnal makes some things very clear. (You won't find this on Jessica's Wisconsin Right Now, either.)
On the 'gas tax':
...The Wisconsin Conservative Digest understands this issue well given our support for meeting the infrastructure needs of our citizens and businesses in Wisconsin. During the Walker years, we did not advocate for a gas tax hike. We believed then, and to this day believe, more general spending outside of the transportation budget should have been used for road/highway construction. The Walker Administration had full control of the Legislature for eight years and could have done moved the sales tax on auto sales and auto parts into the transportation fund. They didn’t. Now Kleefisch says she supports that idea.
Don’t forget, Walker and Kleefisch lost to Tony Evers, in part, because they weren’t willing to “fix the damn roads.” Evers is already running ads this cycle bragging about fixing roads and bridges. Walker and Kleefisch never understood the connection between good roads and bridges and a strong economy the same way Tommy did in the 90s. Becky likes to brag she has won 4 out of 5 statewide elections. That’s true. But the one she lost was to Tony Evers just four years ago. ...
Conservative Digest goes on to state that Michels told the Transportation Development Ass'n NOT to push raising the gas tax--but they did, anyway. Majority rules, and Tim was minority.
Beyond that, Michels Corp. puts gas and diesel into 14,000 vehicles. Think about whether YOU would ask to raise the tax on an essential for that fleet. Only Government would do that because it's not their damn money!
Facts matter.
