(Lansing, MI) – Governor Gretchen Whitmer is happy state House Speaker Matt Hall has passed a three-point-one-billion-dollar plan to fund road fixes, but says the plan could create budget holes and doesn’t solve the problem. Whitmer says she will work with the state Senate on a compromise that will be acceptable to both parties. She and Republicans in the House want to put all taxes collected for fuel to the roads instead of being split up now for road funding, education, and more.
The GOP plan would fill the School Aid Fund hole with money from the General Fund and wouldn’t raise taxes but Whitmer says new revenue has to be brought in from somewhere.
