Republican leaders in the state House and Senate in Michigan vow to temporarily nix the state's 27 cent gas tax, promising to send the proposal to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer some time next week.
The House approved the rapidly conceived bill by a 63-39 margin Wednesday afternoon, chiefly with GOP support but also with the backing of a handful of Democrats. The Senate plans to vote on the bill sometime next week. In theory, that puts the measure on Whitmer's desk by March 18.
The GOP plan would end the state tax on April 1 through the end of September, the end of the fiscal year. Lawmakers estimated Michigan drivers would save $750 million over that time, which translates to a similar amount of tax revenue not coming into state coffers.
How about the New York Democrats?
