4. This problem has been kicked down the road (no pun intended) with every administration.

Now it's at a point where there are so many bad roads, it's going to take a lot of money to fix them all. I don't know what the solution is, but I think it's going to have to be multiple sources of revenue at this point. I don't understand why the roads are so bad here. I've lived in four states and this is the worst, and please don't tell me it's because of the cold weather. I can name about 20 states that have weather colder than Michigan.

I also have never understood why Michigan's car insurance rates are the highest. I know Governor Whitmer is trying to find a solution to that too. She's inherited quite a mess and it's only been three months.

Yes, it takes billions to fix Michigan roads. No, taxpayers don't want to pay. [View all] TexasTowelie Apr 2019 OP
