Gas Tax Holiday

LAS VEGAS-Although she continues to support N.Y. Sen. Hillary Clinton for her party's nomination for president, Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.) disagrees with one of Clinton's most publicized policy proposals of recent weeks, the "gas tax holiday."

"I am opposed to the gas tax holiday, having sat on the Transportation Committee and knowing of the infrastructure needs of this country and the condition of our roads," said Berkley.

"In Nevada, we are at least $3.5 billion, possibly $5 billion short of satisfying our current and future infrastructure needs.  To have a gas holiday that will take money out of the highway fund, which designates money for specific highway projects will be very counterproductive."

"As supportive as I am of Sen. Clinton and as much of an admirer as I am of her, I disagreed with that position."
