MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey is expected to announce a gas tax proposal this week as infrastructure improvement takes center stage in this year’s legislative session.
Ivey’s press office said she will have a Wednesday news conference to announce an infrastructure plan.
A proposed gas tax increase to fund road and bridge construction is expected to be among the top issues in the legislative session that begins Tuesday.
