It's an incredibly unpopular plan in the capitol.
Now, a new ad blasting the plan, is all the buzz in political circles.
Local 4 traced the ad to a Bloomfield Hills creative agency, but they won't reveal who their client is.
The unpopularity of the plan is so great, the ad could be backed by anyone including; Democrats, The Tea Party and yes, even Republicans.
The ad started to leak out yesterday, now it's the piece of political theater everyone wants to see.
What the ad signifies is a long, ugly battle over paying more for gas and more to register vehicles.
Veteran political consultant Joe Disano watched a copy of the ad on Monday.
He says it doesn't surprise him one iota.
"I think this ad is the start. I think you're going to see more broadly placed and upfront advertising. This is only the beginning," Disano said.
The push is on to get the road funding package through the legislature in March, but the consensus form legislators who want to go on camera is, fat chance.
