(WWJ) - Few things, if any, are more discussed in Michigan than the condition of the state's roads.
The goal is always to fix them, but that always seems just out of reach.
Currently, experts say the money for road repairs is split in half between registration fees and taxes at the gas pump. With a push toward more energy-efficient vehicles, revenue from gas stations could be lost.
Some officials are suggesting switching to charging for road use, which will charge per mile driven, or to toll roads as an answer to fund road repairs.
On a new Daily J, WWJ's Zach Clark looks at the new road funding option.
