as drivers fill up ahead of the holiday weekend there's a growing debate about a new plan to pump up gas prices. good evening i'm ken wayne. frank somerville is off tonight. >> and i'm julie haener. some call it a tax, others a fee. tonight the controversial bill in sacramento that could add even more to what you pay for gas. ktvu's eric rasmussen is live now in oakland with who's blind it and how it would work, eric.

>> like you said this is a bill in sacramento that would give local government a chance to fix roads like this one right here. but some tax groups tell us this is nothing more than another tax they can't afford. fixing bay area roads is not cheap, but some drivers drivers were steamed. >> it's a little steep. >> reporter: when we told them about a plan to raise gas prices to get the funds. it could be a tough sale with prices still hovering at $4. >> the fact that we pay the highest gas prices in the country already means there should be sufficient money to do road maintenance projects. >> if we do nothing, well you get that. what you get is a big pothole.

transportation leaders say too many bay area roads are already near the failing point and the money simply isn't there at the state level to cover the cost to fix them. yet however some groups like the california tax association says an extra fee would amount to an uncapped tax that will amount to millions that a taxpayer already pays. >> what do you say to a commuter that says she's already taxed too much. >> well we live in an free -- she will be able to vote on it. more details now, we checked the numbers and found the people driving this weekend will pay more at the pump than
