Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton is backing a permanent repeal of federal fuel taxes, arguing that ending the gas and diesel taxes would give drivers financial relief as fuel prices remain high. But Paxton has not provided a detailed plan for replacing the federal revenue currently used to fund highway construction and repairs. The proposal comes as his Democratic opponent, state Rep. James Talarico, also calls for suspending federal gas and diesel taxes while linking high fuel costs to the war in Iran. With the Texas Senate race closely watched nationally, the debate over fuel taxes, road funding and federal spending is becoming a major campaign issue. #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- News that speaks your language – Oneindia App is now live | Click on the below link to download https://play.google.com/
