Washtenaw: Gas Tax

By

Peter Luke of the Booth Newspapers chain reports that state Reps. Pam Byrnes, D-Chelsea, and Richard Ball, R-Bennington Twp., introduced legislation on Tuesday that would, among other measures, increase the per-gallon gas tax from 19 cents to 23 cents this year, and to 27 cents in 2013. The aim is to raise state matching funds needed to secure federal dollars for state and local roads. [Source]
