LANSING, MI (WTVB) – The Michigan Legislature has gone back on summer break, unable to find the votes to pass anything resembling a plan to fix the roads. House Democrats are placing the blame squarely on the Republican leadership. Minority Leader Tim Greimel tells WLNS TV-6 in Lansing that they continue to be shut out of the process.
Senate Republicans say if there is going to be an increase in revenue in the plan, they will need Democrat votes, because too many Republicans, have taken pledges not to raise taxes, under any circumstances.
It may take all summer and even then they may not be able to come up with a solution that will get the 20 votes they need in the Senate and the 56 they need in the House to pass.
