President Donald Trump and Pelosi and Schumer are coming together in search of a plan to fix the country‚Äôs crumbling infrastructure. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will give every House lawmaker a chance to share their infrastructure priorities on Wednesday. So far this year, Alabama, Arkansas, Ohio and Virginia have enacted gas tax increases, although Virginia’s only applies to a portion of the state. Blumenauer said many of the states that approved gas tax increases are led by Republicans, and he hopes they’ll make their voices heard to Congress. But it’s unclear whether Blumenauer will get support from Republican members of Congress, or even top Democratic leaders.
