In a meeting on Tuesday with James Stock, a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, ACEC President Dave Raymond urged the Administration to support long-term Highway Trust Fund solutions, including both a gas tax increase and a vehicle-miles-travelled program.
In addition, responding to Stock's assertion that the Administration is intent on implementing strong carbon reduction measures on industry, Raymond questioned the wisdom of enacting such measures without strong international agreements: "In a competitive world, I don't think the U.S. should undertake unilateral measures that would put our economy at a disadvantage."
