Michigan voters could face a May 7 vote on how they want to pay for billions of dollars in road and bridge repairs in the next few years.
A key lawmaker has put forward a plan under which voters would be asked to choose between a legislative plan to hike fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees, or a second option that would involve a 2-percentage-point increase in the state's 6% sales tax.
The statewide vote would be premised on the gas tax increase and vehicle registration hike already getting approved in the Legislature. So choosing neither would not be an option.
