- In a program entitled "Your governor'" Michigan Governor G. Mennen "Soapy" Williams argues for an appropriation from the state's General Fund and a tax on corporations to fund road building and maintenance across the state. Williams laments the terrible condition of Michigan roads and says that a proposed gas tax hike would be too little too late and another terrible burden for the average consumer to bear. The governor instead proposes borrowing from the General Fund to finance the Highway Department's building fund and supplementing those dollars with a tax on corporations.
