On May 5th, Michigan voters will consider a ballot proposal to raise Michigan's sales tax to help fund road repairs and provide continued funding for schools and local governments. Personally I would have preferred to see the Michigan Legislature increase the fuel tax as a fairer way to address the deteriorating condition of our roads and bridges. But, this ballot proposal may be our only solution.
I ran across a couple of posts in support of Proposition 1 from two individuals whose opinions I respect:
- Click here to read "Reality Trumps Fantasy in Road Funding" by former State Representative Chuck Moss.
- Click here to read "No Prop 1, no good roads. Guaranteed" by The Detroit News' Nolan Finley.
More information on the ballot proposition can be found on the website for
Safe Roads Yes!
