Michigan Democrats Voting For Increase in Gas Tax

With Michigan facing such hard financial times why aren't our House democrats in session? Why aren't they trying to find a way to help the families in Michigan who are struggling to pay their house payment, their grocery bill, and fill up their cars? Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE ON VACATION.

Read the following article. If you think that a 25 cent diesel tax per gallon increase won't affect you, remember how your fuel get's to the gas station, how your groceries get to Meijer and Wal-Mart, how your trash gets picked up every week, how your natural gas or propane are delivered to your home.

The Michigan Republican Party (MRP) blasts Democratic House Candidate Judy Nerat for supporting a 25-percent increase in the state diesel tax. If passed, the tax would have cost Michigan businesses more than $41 million so far this year.

House Republicans hammer Democrats for taking the summer off. An August 20th Saginaw News Editorial, also slams the Dems, hinting that they are no where near earning their more than $79,000 a year salary.

The House of Representatives has met just one time since June 28th and canceled yet another session last week. The Dems set the calendar and decide when work will be done on the massive problems facing Michigan citizens. Democrats have not scheduled for another official session until September 9th - a 10-week break since June 28th.
