Michigan is still pondering how to improve prices at the pump

Michigan lawmakers have approved a suspension of the state’s 27.2 cent gasoline and diesel tax. But it’s not over yet.

Governor Whitmer has indicated that she will veto the bill, preferring instead to halt the federal gas and diesel tax while calling for negotiations on permanent tax cuts.

Tuesday, both the Michigan House and senate advanced the measure to suspend the state’s gas tax between April and September of this year.

If Whitmer were to sign the bill, it’s likely that it wouldn’t go into effect until March of 2023 — one year after it was intended to relieve some of the pain at the pump.

Want to improve prices at the pump? Get rid of all Democrats.

Even as wHitler is mouthing words about high gas prices, she is working to close another pipeline providing energy for Michigan. What exactly does she think is going to happen? Democrats do not understand simple things like “cause and effect”.
