Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) on Tuesday suggested using a truck-only vehicle miles traveled tax during the Senate Finance Committee's hearing on infrastructure funding.

His suggested method would levy a tax of 25-cents for every mile driven. The mileage would be tracked via government-mandated devices that report the data back to the IRS.

Tuesday marked at least the second time Cornyn has eyed a potential trucking-exclusive tax, having previously floated the idea in 2019 to support a five-year highway bill.

And, who is it that Cornyn thinks will pay this tax?

Thanks, John!! /not
