Pledged never to raise federal taxes, but infrastructure ok

[Senate opponent Rep. Todd] Rokita hammered away at Braun for his support of a plan that raised fuel taxes and fees to pay for road and infrastructure improvements. The irony was that Rokita, in 2015, spoke favorably of gas taxes to pay for improvements.

Braun defends the vote as necessary to fix crumbling roads and that Indiana has long lived within its means, maintaining a balanced budget. Braun has pledged never to raise federal taxes because overspending has become standard practice.
