Bills would boost 'Pure Michigan' funding
"A legislative package proposed in Lansing could provide as much as $40 million annually to promote Michigan as a travel destination and lure business investments to the state.
One of the four bills introduced this week in the Democratic-controlled state House would create a temporary $2.50 per-day assessment on vehicles rented within five miles of a commercial airport or convention center, or if the rental begins at a motel or hotel, assuring the assessment is paid mostly by out-of-state visitors."

Gordo.
The perfect Democrat response to anything is tax it. I fail to see how making Michigan a costlier place to vacation in will attract more people. We already have among the highest gasoline taxes in the country.

Be sure on the link above to zoom in full. Zoom function is at the upper left.

We are also talking of adding more tax to jump the price even higher. See RightMichigan’s article.

I don’t care much if they want to kill the “golden goose” in California but the goose their cooking with this is mine; it’s where I live. I care about that.
