Recently, the governor announced a plan to provide funding for roads that relies on further tax hikes on Michigan residents. Michiganders cannot afford any more of Governor Whitmer’s tax grabs.
Tax and spend, tax and spend, tax and spend — the governor’s broken record keeps on spinning and spinning. For six years, Gov. Whitmer has failed to introduce a real plan to fix Michigan’s roads other than a 45-cent gas tax increase and her unilateral maneuvering to rack up $3.5 billion on the state’s credit card because she refused to work with the Legislature. She’s already floated the idea of new taxes on Michigan drivers based on the miles they travel. Now, she wants to reach deeper into the coffers of Michigan businesses and impose unspecified fees and taxes that will surely trickle back down to consumers. The bottom line is that she has no real plan because she refuses to cut back on wasteful government spending.
