Doubtful.  Probably went to China and came back in a hot rolled steel band.

"Four more years"!!!

That's the condition of our roads not a political slogan

It's not looking like Michigan is going to be seeing much in the way of smooth roads anytime soon. 

One of Snyder's studies came up with a figure of $4B /year for many, many years to fix roads, bridges and other public infrastructure.

Both candidates for governor have a clever 'line' for addressing the issue but not much of the way in actually funding a plan.  It's going to take more than a little creative dollar shuffling to come up with anywhere near the $4B. 

I'm guessing we may see higher insurance rates in the future rather than any cuts!  Higher rates to cover the higher costs insurers in Michigan will be facing. 

Maybe it's time to go back to the horse and buggy

instead of raising insurance rates just take the $10 billion from the no fault fund and fix some roads and eliminate the unlimited medical.
Oh i bet there is no money in the fund.   Somebody probably spent it all and left a bunch of IOU'S.

Well, If they dont' spend it on something that helps all then that's what is going to happen some day..

Kind of like the money the county commissioners have to spend now that the dumb 911 fee passed?

Exactly on point !!

Will be interesting to see how the new Governor (whoever) addresses the road fiasco.  Most likely waffle as usual.
