Subject: Re: Can He Do Anything Right?
Middle of the pack isn't bad, considering the state had been dead last in the country, a dozen years earlier. Are we driving on billiard table smooth roads? No. Because middle of the pack funding, for a few years, can't make up for decades of neglect.

Something funny, though- the roads are great up north in areas that have been controlled by Republicans. Methinks the expenditure of state highway funds were directed for years by a Republican legislature to Republican areas of the state. Up near our cabin in Alcona county, the well paved roads even have 4 feet wide strips across the pavement every few miles, with signs saying “Snowmobile crossing”.

Nothing like driving down a well built, fairly well maintained road with little traffic on it in Northern Michigan.

At least- compared with the worn, heavy industrial corridors of Wayne and Washtenau counties.
