Huckabee Misleads on Taxes

Tonight, Huckabee said this: "People want roads and the people in my state voted by a 80% margin to vote for the roads and pay 3 cents a gallon for gasoline."

But according to Factcheck.org:

"Huckabee claimed a gasoline tax was only passed after 80 percent of voters approved it. Not true. The tax was enacted before a referendum vote on highway repairs."
