(Terry Bell WRN) Governor Evers says he wants to use some of Wisconsin’s budget surplus to cut gasoline prices.

Evers tells WTMJ-TV that he’s considering a temporary gas tax holiday. The gas tax in Wisconsin is 31 cents a gallon. Evers says he’d dip into some of Wisconsin’s record five-billion-dollar surplus to cover any lost revenue, since he won’t cut-off revenue for building and fixing roads.

Republican lawmakers have said they want to use the surplus to cover the cost of lowering state taxes.
