MICHIGAN - Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-Michigan) proposed Monday what she calls a comprehensive, sustainable, long-term plan to “fix the damn roads” for generations to come.  According to a press release from the governor’s office, the $3 billion plan includes funds to help local communities fix local roads, boost transit, improve safety on the roads, and reduce the cost of vehicle repairs for Michigan drivers. According to the Michigan Transportation Asset Management Council, more of Michigan’s roads are now in good or fair condition. Whitmer says Michigan’s local communities still need a long-term solution to continue “fixing the damn roads” and to ensure Michiganders and companies can depend on reliable infrastructure across our state.  For the funding to go into effect, it would need to be approved by the state House and Senate before heading to Whitmer’s desk.
