Democratic Representative Kip Kendrick of Columbia is hopeful his two percent fuel tax increase will make its way through the legislature this year. Kendrick explains how the money from the tax increase will be used.

In 2018, Missouri voters rejected a ten-cent fuel tax increase. Kendrick compares that failed fuel tax increase attempt to his.

Kendrick’s other goals for the session include getting bi-partisan legislation on public safety and criminal justice reform passed. Kendrick will also be focused on his role as ranking minority member of the House Budget Committee.
