“The White House is reassuring conservative leaders that it has no plans to hike the gas tax to help fund a massive infrastructure package that President Trump hopes to negotiate with Congress,” Politico reports.
“Both acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Russ Vought, Trump’s budget director, have repeatedly downplayed the possibility in private meetings with fiscal conservatives who are expressing alarm that Trump might embrace a massive tax increase. Concerns have specifically centered around a potential gas tax boost, an idea that Trump has flirted with during his presidency.”
