Michigan’s Democratic-controlled Senate ended its Thursday session without voting on a proposed 90-day suspension of the state’s 52-cent-per-gallon gas tax. Lawmakers scheduled additional session days for October 6 and 14. Governor Gretchen Whitmer said her administration was examining other ways to reduce gasoline prices without pausing the tax, which finances road repairs, and declined to say whether she would veto a suspension bill. Whitmer blamed the federal government and the war with Iran for higher prices and called for immediate relief for drivers. State House Speaker Matt Hall of Richland, who had opposed advancing a suspension without replacing the lost revenue, said he would bring the measure to a House vote if it clears the Senate, even without a replacement plan. The proposal has faced concerns over an estimated $600 million road-funding shortfall, while Michigan gasoline prices had remained around $4.50 to $4.60 per gallon amid global oil disruptions.
