What I still fail to comprehend is why a republican governor, republican lt. gov. and republican state senator are going all-out to pass a tax hike  along with increasing the vehicle registration fees, all while the governor himself has not done one thing yet to demonstrate the "need" for any additional revenue?

Remember his call for EVIP's and dashboards?

In a nutshell: local governments don't get promised revenue unless they jump through his hoops.

Now, why does that sound familiar???

So why does a governor who is big on making other people prove that they need money, reticent on providing the same proof to Michigan Motorists?
