Gas prices 📈 & Hertel would make it worse

August 14, 2023

Gas prices across Michigan continue to soar, now setting a new high mark for 2023

Things would be worse for Mid-Michigan if Curtis Hertel had his way. Hertel supported Gov. Whitmer’s 173-percent gas tax increase which would have made Michigan home to among the highest tax rates in the country.

The “real plan” that Hertel was “proud to support” would have cost drivers an additional 45-cents per gallon.

“If retired-lobbyist Curtis Hertel had his way, Michigan motorists would be paying among the highest gas prices in America.” — NRCC Spokesman Chris Gustafson
