Clemente has introduced legislation to authorize a $20,000 tax break to gas stations that will install &ldquo;Charging points for electric cars&rdquo;. I could be wrong but I was under the impression the &ldquo;New Electric&rdquo; cars, that almost no one can afford, need to be plugged in for 8 to 12 hours before they are recharged. It isn&rsquo;t like getting a &ldquo;quick fill up of petrol&rdquo; and hitting the road. When are the progressive democrats in Lansing going to realize the state is BROKE and there is no more money for another hair brained tax credit.<br />
