Episode Details

Mackinac Islands ferry services could gain local control over fares, parking, and bag fees with Senate Bill three-oh-four, which passed the Michigan House with a wide margin. The bill heads to Governor Whitmers desk, but residents must approve it. The islands government seeks to regulate ticket prices due to a year-old court battle with Hoffman Marine, the ferry service owner. Hoffman Marine argues against monopoly regulation, citing rising costs and potential service impacts. Mackinaw City also considers a fee for ferry operators. The islands residents will decide the bills fate.
