Gov. Rick Snyder doesnt hesitate when asked to name his toughest task in the last year - because its still unfinished. The Republican governors call for a $1.2 billion tax increase to improve roads has proven tougher than winning re-election or helping guide Detroit from bankruptcy. Snyder told The Associated Press in an interview that lawmakers dont want to raise taxes even though having better roads would save drivers in the long run. Hes lobbying the Legislature to act in the waning days of the two-year session and says compromise is good as long it doesnt cause problems in other parts of the state budget.
