Inslee Signs Transportation Package With Bingen Overpass Funding

Washington Governor Jay Inslee on Wednesday signed the 16 billion dollar transportation package that includes funding for a new overpass on Highway 14 in Bingen to the Port of Klickitat.  The package allocates 22 million dollars for the project, and 14th District Representative Norm Johnson says it’s a necessary project for a growing Port of Klickitat.  The package does include an 11-point-nine cent increase in the Washington gas tax over the next two years.  Johnson says he doesn’t like to vote to increase taxes, but the state’s transportation needs are at point where they must be addressed.
