2. I wonder how he is going to

deal with the issue when trucking companies and independent operators in particular refuse to enter the state due to this policy blunder. He's not real bright is he? When the private automobile taxes increase and fuel costs increase, most transportation operations see their rates increase exponentially in comparison and causing those operators to make a point of avoiding operating in those states. If there are any trucking companies left in the state, the angry workers would probably benefit from getting into a cooperative relationship with the transportation industry and shut down the state, there's not much left to lose at this point given all the removal of elected municipal officials in most of the cities. If he wants to continue to shove the rusty shaft in bad places, the victims can make a stand that will really hurt. Although, in my many years of driving, I can't really recall a time when the roads were very good in the lower peninsula.
