California Governor Jerry Brown proposed a $3.6 billion transportation funding plan to repair the state’s roads and bridges that would raise gas taxes and for the first time impose a user fee on drivers.
The plan circulated Thursday is aimed at filling a $5.7 billion financing gap and drew rebukes from Republicans, who oppose raising fees and levies and instead have said they want to use existing revenue.
