Michigan Senate Is Going To Increase Gas Tax… Soon [VIDEO]

It looks like the gas tax will double in the state of Michigan.

Michigan senators think they may have an answer. Michigan residents currently pay 19 cents a gallon in gas tax at the pump. House-approved legislation Wednesday to effectively raise the 19-cents-a-gallon gasoline tax to more than 45 cents by 2018,

The senators may vote on the plan next week. The tax increase would be phased in, rising to near 30 cents a gallon in January. It could go up at least 5 cents in each of the following three years.

The goal is to raise $1.5 billion more a year to fix roads through fuel-tax increases and other moves.
