Can you show me Democrats that have voted against the gas tax increasing? I'm going off recent (the last 4-8 years) news.

The idea is that they're now in power and if it were such a good idea, they should have implemented it now that they could get it passed.
If it's not such a good idea then perhaps it was only done as a publicity stunt, and that would explain why it hasn't come up again.
I don't know that I care much one way or the other. But saying "Democrats haven't voted it down" is actually different than "Democrats have made it a priority"

Pointing out that there are hypocrites in the Democratic party too gets downvotes? Really? I'm not saying that I like the Republicans, they're hypocrites also.
But the Dems do get campaign contributions from Oil & Gas companies. Only at 20% of the rate of folks in the GOP but it's not as though it's a 99/1 split.
