To raise or not to raise Missouri’s gas tax?
Drivers could pay a little more when they go to the gas pump in Missouri. State Senate President Dave Schatz, R-Sullivan, is offering a bill that would ask voters to increase the fee by two cents per year over a five-year period.

During a public hearing today about the plan, Schatz says an increase is necessary to pay for repairs to the state’s roads and bridges – and for the state’s economy.
