Episode Details

Governor Whitmer is racing against time to keep gas prices low in southeast Michigan, urging lawmakers to extend an energy emergency declaration before it expires July 1. The order, enacted in April, lets eight counties avoid switching to a more expensive summer fuel blend — a move that could otherwise push prices up even higher as national averages climb. With the legislature set to reconvene June 30, lawmakers must agree on identical resolutions to pass the extension — and they’ve already voted on separate versions. Meanwhile, suspending Michigan’s 52-cent gas tax remains stalled, despite its potential to ease costs — and the loss of revenue would hurt critical road repair funding.
