The bill is opposed by the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society Action Network.

A couple organizations that have outlived their usefulness.

Well it sounds like you got rid of an idiot governor that was not.

The bill by state Rep. Matt Hall, R-Marshall, heads to the Senate next. The legislation is a reintroduction of a bill vetoed by Republican former Gov. Rick Snyder before he left office in 2018.

Snyder told lawmakers in a veto letter that he felt it was "appropriate to maintain the current expectation for expiration of the cap in 2021 and return the tax to 32% of the wholesale price."
