<span style="font-size: larger;">House Speaker Jase Bolger is pushing an idea to boost road funding that seeks to ensure all state taxes on motor fuel are dedicated to repairing Michigan roads while not affecting prices at the pump.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">His plan is to gradually repeal the 6 percent sales tax on gasoline and replace it with a tax on the wholesale price of fuel by a rate of 1 cent annually over six years. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">The Legislature has the power to make the move &mdash; unlike other sales tax road proposals that require voter approval under the state Constitution.</span><br />
