Same Thing – Different Day
Whitmer’s $3B plan to fix Michigan roads calls for more corporate, marijuana taxes, taxes at the pump and you can just imagine the ones you don’t know about.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has introduced a comprehensive three billion dollar initiative aimed at repairing the state’s road infrastructure, proposing increases in corporate and marijuana taxes although specific details remain vague. Additionally, Whitmer is advocating for all taxes collected at the pump to be dedicated entirely to road maintenance and improvements.
The plan will trumpet the well known and worn thin “make sure that corporations pay their fair share to do business in Michigan” and “without putting the costs on the backs of everyday Michiganders”
It’s the latest infrastructure plan from Whitmer, who won office in 2018 on a pledge to “fix the damn roads.”
Her 2019 proposal to raise fuel taxes by 45 cents per gallon was not taken up in the Legislature.
The next year, Whitmer went it alone with a $3.5 billion bonding plan for upkeep and reconstruction of some of Michigan’s busiest roadways, but the state will spend decades paying off the debt and the money is drying up.
Whitmer will also propose levying an additional 32% wholesale tax on marijuana products to match those applied to tobacco products like cigarettes. Her office’s budget recommendation last week also called for expanding that tax to nicotine products that don’t contain tobacco, like vapes and pouches, which have avoided taxation for years.
