LANSING, Mich. (WILX) -Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has a new plan to fix the damn roads. This plan includes higher taxes on businesses.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced a new plan to funnel more money into fixing the state's aging infrastructure.

Whitmer said at the Detroit Auto Show that a new road funding plan would need to include new revenue sources, plus fiscally responsible spending cuts.

It would generate long-term road funding by increasing the corporate income tax, taxing wholesale marijuana sales, cutting unspecified programs and shifting all taxes at the pump to road funding. The governor’s office declined to share working estimates for the corporate income tax increase or the wholesale marijuana tax percentage,
