I-94 and M-66 To Get Major Rebuilding Attention
Governor Gretchen Whitmer s testy campaign slogan, Fix The Damn Roads is starting to take shape for real. The Michigan Department of Transportation is releasing a 5-year master plan for rebuilding roads and infrastructure. It’s made possible through a massive $3.5 billion bond issue the Governor unilaterally imposed on the state without legislative input.
So while some quarters of the state are applauding the actions. Others are wondering about how the state will effectively manage the new debt load. The state legislature had proposed a significantly smaller plan. This all happened after the legislature turned its back on Governor Whitmer’s proposed gasoline tax at another $0.45 a gallon.
