POLL OVERVIEW:<br />
<br />
The Michigan legislature is considering two revenue generating plans to pay for road repairs.<br />
<br />
Plan 1 would hike fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees to pay for road repairs. <br />
<br />
Plan 2 would be a 2 percentage point increase in the state&rsquo;s 6% sales tax.<br />
<br />
The plan would involve passing legislation to remove the 19-cent a gallon gasoline tax motorists pay at the pump and to impose a sales tax on the wholesale level, along with vehicle registration fees together aimed at raising the targeted amount. If passed, the legislation would be tie-barred to a joint resolution calling for a statewide vote on another option to fund roads &mdash; amending the state constitution to increase the state sales tax and dedicating the amount raised from the two percentage point hike to fixing and maintaining the state&rsquo;s roads and bridges.<br />
<br />
Voters would be asked whether they want the plan the Legislature adopted or the sales tax plan, which would also remove the 19-cent-per-gallon gas tax. <br />
<br />
This legislation would require the voters to choose one of the two options for road repairs.<br />
