Michigan sales tax increase backers raise $3.2M, mostly from road builders | Crain's Detroit Business:
ANSING — Supporters of increasing Michigan's sales tax as part of a plan to improve roads are reporting an early financial advantage over opponents of the proposal on the May ballot.
A group backing Proposal 1, Safe Roads Yes!, says it raised $3.2 million as of a week ago. 
More than two-thirds of the money came from the Michigan Infrastructure & Transportation Association, a road building group.
