With shrinking revenues, NC lawmakers seek new ways to pay for transportation
Manage episode 361941794 series 1347144
A shift to electric and fuel-efficient vehicles has left North Carolina with a shortage of revenue to pay for roads and other transportation needs — even as the state’s population booms and traffic gets worse. WUNC Capitol Bureau Chief Colin Campbell talks with Sen. Mike Woodard, D-Durham, about a bipartisan effort to find new sources of revenue to replace the gas tax. Woodard also discusses his proposal to address what he calls “one of the stingiest” unemployment benefit programs in the country, as well as this week’s legislative developments on private school vouchers and gun violence prevention measures. And he explains why Durham County’s Bahama community isn’t pronounced the way you might expect.
