Two House Republicans say they have a last-minute proposal to raise $70 million to $100 million per year in new transportation funding, the AP reports. The House Transportation Committee is slated to consider the eleventh-hour proposal Tuesday; it would draw from overall tax revenue growth and a temporary five-cent fuel tax increase to tackle the state's $262 million annual transportation shortfall.

Reps. Jason Monks from Meridian and Greg Chaney from Caldwell say they are optimistic the bill strikes a compromise between legislators split on using general funds on transportation maintenance. However, House Majority Caucus Chair Rep. John Vander Woude says GOP House leadership is working on a separate last-minute effort; he says his plan would raise fuel taxes and registration fees to collect roughly $100 million. "It's now or never," Vander Woude said. "We need to put something together and get it rolling." AP reporter Ryan Struyk has a full report here.
