UPPER MICHIGAN - The Michigan House has approved a bill giving Mackinac Island control over ferry services, including prices for fares, parking, and baggage handling. The bill passed Thursday with a 91-16 vote, facing opposition from Republicans. It now goes to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. The legislation would only take effect if a majority of island residents approve it. St. Ignace and Mackinaw City oppose the bill, as it grants the island control over parking rates in their areas. The move comes amid a legal battle between the island and the company owning the ferry lines, which has raised rates since 2004.
