A two day session for the Michigan House came and went without any vote on a road funding plan.
Republicans lawmakers, however, aren’t hanging their heads about the lack of floor action.
State Representative Jeff Farrington, who chairs a special House committee on road funding, says they’re making progress in closed door meetings.
In fact, he says this is the most focused lawmakers have been on the issue in a long time.
Farrington says many lawmakers have resigned themselves to the fact that some sort of fuel tax increase or fee increase will have to be part of a final plan to drum up the necessary revenue to hit the $1.5 billion mark.
