Michigan roads lag as Reason Foundation ranks state 30th
A guest editorial highlights Michigan's road crisis amid a new Reason Foundation report placing the state 30th in highway system performance. It notes long-term funding gaps since 1997, with about 9,100 miles state roads and far more county and local miles in poorer shape. Gov Snyder calls for ~1.5B more annually, while lawmakers debate taxes and fees as a long-term solution.
