Gretchen Whitmer to propose $0.45/gallon gas tax to fix roads

[AutoRoc]

One suggestion was to add a new lottery for roads only,
perhaps 3 or 4 different games that would be 100% dedicated
to road repairs.

What do you guys think?

You would never contribute!

I think that's a pretty good idea. Of course, they will find a way to not dedicate 100% to roads.

That is always the fear.

You would never contribute!

You know me well, why do you think I shared it

My only fear is that the 45 cent thing was part of a bait and switch. She had to know that it was going to fail miserably. So what is her next step, ask for half of it? The Senate guy says that the first step is taking $600 million or so in sales tax on gas that doesn't go to the roads (it goes to schools) and put it back for the roads. So then she is going to have to make that up. So where does that come from?

Stay tune for part two of her plan to soak the taxpayer.

X2. You know it will happen. Hope this thread gets bumped when it does.

If you had Taxes that made sense you could get 95% of people on board and It would fix the problems. Fixing the road tax would be incredibly easy, I could fix them during dinner on a napkin, So you know hey are not taking care of it on purpose.
