It was very non-controversial, after all the handwringing, the vote wasn't even close and an overwhelming number of State Senators voting for the gas tax increase.
This Rebuild Alabama Act is a gas tax increase that is filled with landmines for politicians. Any tax increase is going to be unpopular.

People are driving more miles and paying less to do so. There are road projects that need to get done […]
