Indiana's high gas tax makes tolling interstates unfair
However, in 2018, the Indiana General Assembly passed a law that provided for automatic increases in the state gasoline excise tax, which is now at 36 cents per gallon.
Indiana's gasoline sales tax also costs residents more than 17 cents per gallon.
Federal gas taxes add an additional 18.4 cents per gallon at the pump.
Overall, Indiana has the fifth highest state gas tax in the nation and billions in reserves, so where is all this money going?

These highways are the lifeblood of all 92 counties in the state, so tolling them would be a terrible mistake. It would take away your right to freely travel in the state and charge you an arm and a leg for it instead.

Lexington state senator ends speculation, says she won't run for Congress
State Sen. Amanda Mays Bledsoe is not running for Congress after all. After months of speculation about the Lexington Republican's potential candidacy for the 6th Congressional District — which is set to become vacant with Rep. Andy Barr running for U.S. Senate — Bledsoe closed the door on a run for the district in a Monday interview with the Herald-Leader. The former member of Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council told the Herald-Leader that her decision was informed by a desire to be present for her kids finishing high school and a need for further surgeries to recover from a 2023 accident where a horse kicked her in the face. 'This was not an easy decision, but I know it's the right one. I had every confidence in my ability to win and to serve, but ultimately the timing is just not right for me and my family,' Bledsoe wrote in a statement. 'As I imagined what it would take to fully commit to a campaign and to service in Washington, I kept coming back to Friday night games, school events, and everyday moments I don't want to miss.' On the Republican side, only state Rep. Ryan Dotson, R-Winchester, has declared for the office. However, Bledsoe hinted in her statement that she would support someone who has yet to enter the race. 'A great candidate for this seat will be announcing in the coming days, and I'm going to be all-in with him,' Bledsoe wrote. Moments after Bledsoe's announcement, former GOP state senator and current Tennessee health department commissioner Ralph Alvarado hinted that he'd run for the seat. 'With my dear friend Amanda Mays Bledsoe announcing she's not running for Congress in KY-6, I wanted to let everyone know that my wife, Dawn, and I are strongly considering this race,' Alvarado wrote. 'Both as a doctor and in public service, my passion has always been in helping as many people as possible.' Two prominent Democrats have declared for the 6th Congressional District. Cherlynn Stevenson, a former member of Democratic House leadership, and David Kloiber, a former Lexington city councilman and mayoral candidate, are both vying for the nomination. Since her election to the state Senate in 2022, Bledsoe has risen the ranks to become vice chair of the powerful Senate Appropriations & Revenue Committee and has been assigned roles covering weighty issues like artificial intelligence. Bledsoe's state Senate district covers a swath of South Lexington as well as Woodford, Mercer and Boyle counties. Some Republicans saw her as the prohibitive favorite in the race for the 6th Congressional District nomination. Former state representative Killian Timoney called her the 'class entry' that would scare Democrats because of her bipartisan and policy bona fides. 'There are a lot of really good potential candidates, but if you're asking my opinion of who the class entry is on that one, it's definitely Amanda. I don't think there's a Democrat out there that could beat her,' Timoney said in April. Now, some politicos believe Bledsoe's deferral changes the calculus. 'Sen. Bledsoe was the clear frontrunner in the field with her high name ID in Fayette County combined with strong fundraising ability, support from a wide cross-section of the party, and vast policy skills,' T.J. Litafik, a Lexington-based GOP consultant, said. 'Her decision not to run throws the nomination wide open and could very well make for an especially competitive and interesting primary next May.'

Senate leaders to meet with Netanyahu
Republicans finally got their 'big, beautiful bill' across the finish line. Now they're turning to their next urgent tasks: codifying billions in spending cuts and avoiding a government shutdown. The Senate plans to vote no earlier than next week on President Donald Trump's request for lawmakers to scrap $9.4 billion in previously approved funding for NPR, PBS and foreign aid, according to two people granted anonymity to discuss the plans. That's running dangerously close to lawmakers' July 18 deadline to vote in favor of the rescissions package, or the administration will be forced to spend the money as Congress originally intended. GOP leaders have work to do to shore up votes for the package, which would formalize funding cuts previously sought by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency initiative. Among the wary Republicans is top Senate Appropriator Susan Collins, who helped tank Trump's unsuccessful rescissions request back in 2018. The Maine Republican said during a late-June hearing with White House budget chief Russ Vought that reducing support for the AIDS-fighting program PEPFAR would be 'extraordinarily ill-advised and short-sighted;' Collins later told Calen that she's looking at 'drafting an alternative package of rescissions.' Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan of Alaska and Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota have also echoed Collins' warnings about slashing money for public broadcasting, with Sullivan saying he's seeking an amendment for 'very rural' stations that would be affected by the White House proposal. Looming over the rescissions talks: appropriations. Senators will Thursday begin marking up their first batch of spending bills necessary to fund the government beyond the end of the current fiscal year on Sept. 30. Leaders are under immense pressure to allow votes on individual measures rather than seek to avert a shutdown with a massive omnibus, and more than anything else want to avoid having to pass another short-term stopgap. But the scheduled August recess will take away four weeks of time lawmakers would otherwise be in Washington to negotiate. The House has made some progress with its appropriations work, passing one bill so far and advancing four others out of committee. House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) says he wants to complete all 12 markups by July 30. Yet even the typically bipartisan bill to fund the Department of Veterans' Affairs garnered only two Democratic votes on the chamber floor. It underscores how a process that once relied on buy-in between the two parties has become a largely partisan exercise — a risky situation for Republicans who can lose only three votes on their side of the aisle for party-line legislation. What else we're watching: — How lawmakers respond to the deadly flooding in Texas: Some state officials are sharply criticizing the National Weather Service for severely underestimating the rainfall in its forecasts. The White House on Sunday pushed back against attempts to link the administration's NWS staffing cuts to its inability to warn Texas residents about the storms. At least two members have been directly affected by the catastrophe: GOP Reps. August Pfluger of Texas and Buddy Carter of Georgia. Pfluger's daughter and Carter's granddaughters were rescued from a camp affected by the flooding, with Carter also sharing that his granddaughters' cousin was killed. — More reconciliation bills ahead: Riding high on a legislative win, Speaker Mike Johnson is sketching out a timeline for potentially pushing two more party-line packages through the reconciliation process this Congress. Watch what policy areas they'll address — and whether they include the priorities of key hard-liners who claimed they got certain assurances to support the megabill last week. — NDAA to shake up the Pentagon: House Armed Services is aiming to make it harder to withdraw troops from Europe and change how the Pentagon buys its weapons as it heads toward a markup next Tuesday of the annual defense bill. Senate Armed Services will mark up its version of the defense bill this week; the full panel debate is slated to begin Tuesday afternoon and will likely take several days. Jordain Carney, Gregory Svirnovskiy, Mia McCarthy and Connor O'Brien contributed to this report.

Tech founders call on Sequoia Capital to denounce VC Shaun Maguire's Mamdani comments
Almost 600 people have signed an open letter to leaders at venture firm Sequoia Capital after one of its partners, Shaun Maguire, posted what the group described as a "deliberate, inflammatory attack" against the Muslim Democratic mayoral candidate in New York City. Maguire, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, posted on X over the weekend that Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary last month, "comes from a culture that lies about everything" and is out to advance "his Islamist agenda." The post had 5.3 million views as of Monday afternoon. Maguire, whose investments include Elon Musk's SpaceX and X as well as artificial intelligence startup Safe Superintelligence, also published a video on X explaining the remark. Those signing the letter are asking Sequoia to condemn Maguire's comments and apologize to Mamdani and Muslim founders. They also want the firm to authorize an independent investigation of Maguire's behavior in the past two years and post "a zero-tolerance policy on hate speech and religious bigotry." They are asking the firm for a public response by July 14, or "we will proceed with broader public disclosure, media outreach and mobilizing our networks to ensure accountability," the letter says. Sequoia declined to comment. Maguire didn't respond to a request for comment, but wrote in a post about the letter on Wednesday that, "You can try everything you want to silence me, but it will just embolden me." Among the signees are Mudassir Sheikha, CEO of ride-hailing service Careem, and Amr Awadallah, CEO of AI startup Vectara. Also on the list is Abubakar Abid, who works in machine learning Hugging Face, which is backed by Sequoia, and Ahmed Sabbah, CEO of Telda, a financial technology startup that Sequoia first invested in four years ago. At least three founders of startups that have gone through startup accelerator program Y Combinator added their names to the letter. Sequoia as a firm is no stranger to politics. Doug Leone, who led the firm until 2022 and remains a partner, is a longtime Republican donor, who supported Trump in the 2024 election. Following Trump's victory in November, Leone posted on X, "To all Trump voters: you no longer have to hide in the shadows…..you're the majority!!" By contrast, Leone's predecessor, Mike Moritz, is a Democratic megadonor, who criticized Trump and, in August, slammed his colleagues in the tech industry for lining up behind the Republican nominee. In a Financial Times opinion piece, Moritz wrote Trump's tech supporters were "making a big mistake." "I doubt whether any of them would want him as part of an investment syndicate that they organised," wrote Moritz, who stepped down from Sequoia in 2023, over a decade after giving up a management role at the firm. "Why then do they dismiss his recent criminal conviction as nothing more than a politically inspired witch-hunt over a simple book-keeping error?" Neither Leone nor Moritz returned messages seeking comment. Roelof Botha, Sequoia's current lead partner, has taken a more neutral stance. Botha said at an event last July that Sequoia as a partnership doesn't "take a political point of view," adding that he's "not a registered member of either party." Boelof said he's "proud of the fact that we've enabled many of our partners to express their respected individual views along the way, and given them that freedom." Maguire has long been open with his political views. He said on X last year that he had "just donated $300k to President Trump." Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, has gained the ire of many people in tech and in the business community more broadly since defeating former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the June primary.
