An editorial by Jeff Gerritt published in today's Detroit Free Press discusses gas tax reform that could result in more funding for public transit systems.

"The centerpiece of the reform package would scrap the state's flat 19-cents-a-gallon tax and replace it with a proportional tax paid by gasoline wholesalers -- a move that eventually would raise an added $150 million for transit."
