The speaker of the Indiana House is urging Gov. Eric Holcomb to make a strong push for a tax hike to pay for much-needed road and bridge repairs. Speaker Brian Bosma said it was “important” for his fellow Republican to vocalize his support and convince voters that it is important for the Legislature to raise revenues through increased gas taxes or vehicle fees. Holcomb has made a 20-year infrastructure plan one of his top priorities for the upcoming session and will elaborate on his concerns during his first State of the State address next week.
