Michigan roads second worst in country | detnews.com | The Detroit News: "Michigan has the second worst roads in the nation, according to a 'Highway Report Card' released today by Overdrive Magazine, a publication for truckers and trucking company owners. Michigan placed third on the report card in 2009. Pennsylvania topped out this year's list with the worst roads, and New York and California tied for third place. Michigan drivers won't see much relief from crumbling roads in the next five years after the Michigan State Transportation Commission in January slashed 243 road and bridge projects from the Michigan Department of Transportation's 2010-14 road program."
Comment -- California has the third worst roads in the nation? Wow, that's not what I saw when we were in the Bay Area in February. They seemed pretty darn smooth.
Message to politicians: how about instead of raising road taxes, you figure out a cheaper way to build and repair roads? Like maybe more cost effective labor?
