Would you support. Would you vote to raise the gas tax as Governor Evers had proposed, obviously before coronavirus. But is that something that you would support now? The gas tax is something that I would support. It was something that I supported before COVID 19 because it's a way to make sure that the burden of paying for our roads isn't just delegated to the individuals who live in Milwaukee county or the people who live in Wisconsin, period.
