Higher gas tax not the answer for roads
According to a study by Lv-15 — a team of former Tesla engineers that create HD maps for self-driving cars — Michigan has the worst roads in the United States. If our Michigan legislators managed the funds appropriately, we wouldn’t have this problem.
Now Michigan’s ex-lawmakers want to hike our gas tax by 47 cents. There is no guarantee the current legislators will not misappropriate these funds as was done in the past.
With that increase, Michigan will have the worst roads AND the highest gas prices in the country. Looks like these retired lawmakers have taken advantage of Michigan’s new legal marijuana law.
