Minnesota House DFL proposes gas tax increase
By Star Tribune Text size Copy shortlink:
Minnesota s gas tax would increase as construction costs climb under a proposal House Democrats released last week an idea Republican lawmakers quickly rejected.
It has been 13 years since Minnesota last increased the gas tax and the cost to repair state infrastructure continues to grow, Rep. Erin Koegel, DFL-Spring Lake Park, told the House Transportation Committee as members debated a bill containing the provision on Thursday. We re really asking [the Minnesota Department of Transportation] to do more with less funding, Koegel said, contending that indexing the gas tax to keep up with inflation would help ensure safe roads.

Bill would let Minnesota teens take driver s ed online without instructor Proponents cite convenience, flexibility, but virtual instruction also raises concern. February 12, 2021 12:30pm Text size Copy shortlink:
Prospective teen drivers in Minnesota may soon be able to take driver s education courses online at any time, day or night, without an instructor present, if a measure before the Legislature passes.
Teens seeking their provisional licenses would still have the option to take drivers ed classes in person but could enroll in a program allowing them to complete the curriculum on their own time starting in June 2022. There would be no changes to the behind-the-wheel requirement, during which students practice driving with an instructor.
