In other words, hold on to your wallets. The latest push is for the worst type of tax around - the gasoline tax. It's proposed in the name of road construction, but who is to say that this is where the money is going to go. General Fund? That's not counting the fact that our gas prices are high enough as it is.

A new push to fix Michigan roads and transportation infrastructure by raising fuel taxes is expected to be announced at the Capitol today.
State Reps. Hoon-Yung Hopgood, D-Taylor, and Craig DeRoche, R-Novi, have scheduled a news conference this afternoon to launch the proposal that would, among other things, raise the state's gas tax by 9 cents over three years. The current state tax is 19 cents per gallon.
