The Michigan Legislature, controlled by Republicans at the time, commissioned the toll road research in 2020. The reports now head to a Democratic-controlled Legislature, where lawmakers say they are ready to explore new ways to fund road repairs across the state.
Whitmar has been skeptical of tolling in the past, saying in 2019 that charging motorists here could have a "downside" because Michigan is a "destination state" rather than a "pass through" state like Ohio, which is in a better position to collect revenue for "out of staters."
But the governor took a new tone Tuesday, telling reporters "there's a possibility" tolling "might make sense on certain arteries and not others." She noted her staff is still studying the feasibility and implementation studies.
Republicans haven't ruled out the possibility.

Sounds like she’s agreeing with her state Republicans to do this.
So if what she says sounds like a Democrat…
What do Republicans sound like?
