Republican Party of Wisconsin 2019 State Convention Interviews Sen. Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau)

Published | Video Starts at 14:58

Well, the reality is Wisconsin has relied so heavily on gas tax that whenever you talk about an increase and if you're talking specifically about the governor's 8 cents, you know that would push you to number 10 in the nation and then Indexing over 10 years as [the governor's plan] also included would put you like number two or three in the nation. And you know, all that does is I think demonstrate that there's, you know, quite honestly not a lot of support within the caucuses to move in that direction. (14:58–15:05)

CLAIM

Asserts that indexing the gas tax over 10 years would make Wisconsin's gas tax the 2nd or 3rd highest in the nation.
