Poll: Most voters oppose fees, fuel taxes for road upgrades
Friday, 02.03.2012, 10:13pm
DETROIT — A new WXYZ-TV/Free Press poll shows that 58% of people oppose raising fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees to fund road and bridge improvements.

Those in favor voted at a 36% rate according to the poll. Among those opposed, 41% said they were strongly against it. The overall pool of respondents was 600 people from Jan. 21-25 and has a margin of error of plus or minus four points. 

A recent $1.4 billion infrastructure bill introduced last week by Rep. Rick Olson includes the measures.
