State House Speaker: No Gas Tax Cut Without Replacing Revenue

By Mary Ellen Murphy Sep 30, 2026 | 7:43 AM

(Lansing, MI) –It does not appear Michigan will follow Indiana in pausing fuel taxes despite prices being high. Republican state House Speaker Matt Hall has ruled out a vote on that unless it’s part of a larger deal that has replacement revenue for the state, as fuel taxes pay for road repairs.

State Rep. Greg VanWoerkom:

Hall says they worked too hard last year to put a sustainable revenue formula for road repairs in place. Republican nominee for governor John James wrote on X this week that Michigan has the highest Midwest gas prices and he supports suspending the state and federal gas tax immediately.
