Less than a week after former Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood suggested a 10-cent-per-gallon tax hike, the idea of a fuel tax increase is getting more buzz.
Thomas Donohue, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said Monday at a breakfast hosted by The Christian Science Monitor that Congress should consider raising the federal gas tax, according to a report from CNN Money.
Donohue said the funds raised could be used to pay for maintenance, repairs and new construction of transportation infrastructure.
