Gretchen Vs. The Roads

MI, (WOWO) — In Lansing, Governor Gretchen Whitmer is again pushing for $3 billion a year to fix Michigan’s crumbling roads-but she’ll need Republican cooperation to make it happen.

Whitmer and House Republicans have released competing plans, both aiming to redirect all fuel-related taxes to roads.

Whitmer proposes additional tax hikes, including on marijuana, while Republicans are calling for unspecified spending cuts.

Senate Democrats aren’t offering their own plan yet, but say it’s time for serious negotiations.
