Democrats push $1.2 billion tax plan to fix roads
Lansing Democrats unveil a 1.2 billion proposal raising the corporate tax, adding a 6 cent per mile heavy truck levy, and tolls for tractor trailers. It mirrors parts of Gov Whitmer's budget while seeking 2.5 billion in new revenue and shifting taxes to balance corporate and pensioner breaks. Christine Greig says the plan adds ideas since Republicans oppose a 45 cent gas tax hike.
