A new bill has been introduced to Congress to tackle an issue of high importance to many truckers. It’s called the CARS Act. And for most Americans, paying taxes is a once-a-year affair in mid-April, made simpler by changes in tax laws over the past few years. But for those who are self-employed, it’s not all that simple, and it never really has been.

Meanwhile, voters in two Minnesota locales will decide whether to approve tax increases to benefit roads.
