Author    Post   twotap F L I N T O I D Lobby seeks hike in road taxes<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> October 18, 2007 BY DAWSON BELL FREE PRESS LANSING BUREAU LANSING -- Cuts in spending on road and bridge construction could cost Michigan more than 12,000 jobs in the next three years unless the state raises another $1 billion a year in fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees, a coalition of business, government and labor groups backing the tax hikes said Wednesday. Without an increase, money for road building would drop by 40% by 2009, forcing companies in the industry to relocate and lay off employees and sending ripples widely across the Michigan economy, said Mike Nystrom, vice president of the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association Whats a few more taxes we are in Mi after all.

We're already paying $2 billion/year in taxes restricted for transportation (and spending $3 billion). I say again...when is enough?
