They just received 873 million from the fed in stimulus to go to roads and now they want to increase taxes. This tax increase will have more negative effects on the economy. This could impose a fuel surcharge on products delivered in Michigan. Raising the price of the product you buy. Not to mention truckers will fuel before entering this state that’s a lost of revenue. So the consumer is going to pay. People will cut back in spending to cover the cost of gas. When gas goes back up this summer and it will, what effect do you think it will have on tourism? Let’s throw in donations to the church, your going to have to cut back. We can even include the pizza delivery; he’s got to cover the increase. And are the people of this state so well off that they can afford this, from what I can see there not. Is this another way of saying bring jobs to Michigan or is it putting another nail in the coffin?
In a different perspective, when fuel sky rocketed in price people cut back on use and the state lost money, and is this a way of making sure you get your cut if it happens again. It will.
