Proponents for dedicating all gas-tax revenues toward transportation are stepping up advocacy efforts, ahead of an Election Day decision by voters that could be a close one.

Here's what New Jersey's lawmakers had to say before they vote for — or against — the gas tax on Friday.

Gov. Chris Christie still isn’t on board with the revised Transportation Trust Fund plan, even after it capped the gas tax hike at 23 cents. He expects more changes.

A Republican senator says a gas-tax hike is a fair way to pay for road work because out-of-state drivers would pay. He says NJ residents should get a tax deduction.

State lawmakers are taking first steps toward two tax cuts, though the changes appear unlikely to become law unless drivers also start paying more for gasoline.
