Everybody knows:
Everybody knows if you elect a Democrat Governor taxes are going to go up.
During a debate, Governor Whitmer was challenged and asked if she supported a $.20 gas tax increase. She said she did not. The implication was that she didn't support a gas tax increase at all, or less than $.20, and that her opponent was trying to misrepresent her.
Governor Whitmer, according to all news sources, is going to propose a $.45 gas tax increase.
An extreme gas tax that would increase the current tax from $.263 to $.713, more than doubling the current taxes.
This would happen in stages and be complete by Oct 1, 2020 (a mere year and 7 months from now).
I can tell you that I am not shocked by this in the least. It is exactly what I expected. And, if anyone has been paying attention, it should have been exactly what they expected too.
Democrats run as moderates, until they get into office, then govern as leftist extremists. Typically, Republicans have run as conservatives, and governed as moderates. Trump and Reagan as Presidents and Newt Gingrich as Representative are the notable exceptions.
Again, everybody knows if you elect a Democrat Governor taxes are going to go up.
