During my first term, House Republicans proposed a commonsense plan to create a long-term solution for fixing Michigan’s roads. Our approach would have directed every penny paid at the pump toward local roads and bridges—not wasteful pet projects buried in the state budget. Unfortunately, the governor rejected our plan, instead pushing for a massive $0.45-per-gallon gas tax increase. That proposal was a nonstarter for the people of Michigan and the Republican caucus.
