Check out this map – http://taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/26444.html – that shows Michigan as of Jan. 4, 2010 has the 7th highest tax rate on gasoline in the country. Many organizations are pushing for a huge gas tax increase. The gas tax is likely to be a very hotly debated topic after the November general election — especially since many legislators & the Governor will never face voters again.
See how your legislator measures up with AFP-Michigan’s Legislative Scorecard. Each Michigan State Senator and State Representative was scored based on votes selected by AFP-Michigan as being the most critical to limiting taxation, controlling spending, and reforming government.

Republican Michelle McManus, Senate Capital Outlay Chair, and Democrats in the state legislature want to see a Capital Outlay budget passed this year. This is an effort to create jobs by increasing state government debt.
This quote could have come from any D.C. Democrat promoting last year’s $787 billion stimulus: “I would say it’s unfortunate that the Governor isn’t interested in putting people back to work,” said Michelle McManus. “Maybe she’ll want to join the process later in the game. I will just continue to work with Mike Lahti, who I have a great relationship with. Maybe we can figure out how to put people back to work.”
