State lawmakers have proposed a tax on hybrid vehicles to remedy the funding shortfall for the transportation budget. A former Madison mayor is with us to share why he thinks the plan is ineffective. We also discuss the idea that exchange programs within the US can help bridge gaps in understanding.
