Raising taxes is never popular. But apparently raising the gas tax and making Michigan's gas tax the highest in the country didn't sit well with Michigan drivers. Lansing lawmakers have altered their proposed solutions, but don't get too excited. They still want to increase taxes instead of prioritizing spending.
The Michigan Legislature will vote Thursday, February 28th on HB4111, a $30.6 million supplemental appropriation for federal funds to help implement a state-federal partnership health exchange. TAKE ACTION NOW to stop implementation of Obamacare.
