governor proposes tripling the state’s gas tax

NO!!! Not Wisconsin Governor Evers…but Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer. I am just posting this to put Wisconsin’s issue into perspective:


New Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who campaigned on a bold promise to “fix the damn roads” in the capital of the U.S. auto industry, will propose nearly tripling the state’s per-gallon fuel tax, her office said Monday.


The Democrat’s budget proposal, which will be a tough sell in the Republican-led Legislature, would boost the 26-cent gasoline and diesel tax by 45 cents by October 2020. The tax hikes would coincide with relief “to help offset the cost to people’s pocketbooks,” which Whitmer will discuss further when she presents her spending plan Tuesday, said spokeswoman Tiffany Brown.
