Governor Scott Walker says he's still opposed to any increases to Wisconsin's gas tax.
This, despite a recently released Department of Transportation report detailing an even larger hole to fill in the state's transportation shortfall.
The audit found nearly $3.1 billion more in project costs, largely due to a miscalculation for inflation.
Walker says the timing is wrong to raise gas taxes, especially as revenues have increased in other areas across the economy.
State Republicans have disagreed on how best to tackle the state's burgeoning transportation shortfall, with some legislators suggesting tax hikes would be on the table. Walker has discussed pushing back competition dates for many projects as a way to reduce costs. He'll release his full budget next week.
