 Our other debate tonight was in House District 9A, Meg Litz from the DFL and John Poston from the Republican Party are both running for the first time. They discussed several topics, including a long-term transportation fix and the possibility of increasing the gas tax. I do not believe that a gas tax is the way for us to go, so I would not agree with a gas tax. I think we need to tax some other things like automotive parts, automotive parts being the biggest one, tires, you know, every part that you need for an automobile, I think that would be a more consistent revenue stream to come in to rebuild and build new roads and bridges. When it comes to matters that are financial, I tend to be more towards the moderate side. So I don't jump immediately to taxing, and I certainly want to take a closer look at other opportunities for us to look for revenue that can help support the infrastructure that we so desperately always need to support not only in greater Minnesota, but around the state of Minnesota. So in greater Minnesota, we do need to look at how we support the bridges and the roads that transport our children, that transport people, to and from our beautiful area in terms of tourism and that industry, that transport goods and services in our agribusiness.
