Michigan News: Proposal 1 Passes

Michigan Proposal 1 Passes....into history.

 
Remember this famous headline? Maybe you saw it in a history book . Or maybe you remember it when it really happened. Okay, this is not how it really looked, ("Dewy Defeats Truman") but if you do remember it when it happened you could still be driving. Hopefully in Florida or somewhere where it's a little bit warmer and a little less bumpy.

So I just could not resist, although if I had the time I would have photo shopped Gov Snyders face in place of President Trumans. But the people who outspent the opponents to Prop. 1 by a reported 40 to 1 margin will probably be dreaming this headline until the ugly, expensive reality sets in tomorrow. Too bad they did not spend those millions fixing a road somewhere.

Well where does the defeat of Proposal 1, the "Road Funding" bill, leave us now? Let's face it. Another two years or more before we see results to any real legislation to fix our roads. Don't get me wrong, the bill just had to die. It was lousy with extras, ambiguity and in my opinion outright deceit. But now we must all take on a very important task. That of forcing our Michigan lawmakers to come up with a genuine plan to FIX AND MAINTAIN our roads!

Guess that's all for now. It's getting late and I'm going to sleep and dream of a place where it's a bit warmer and a little less bumpy. My bed. Night all.

 
Drive Careful,
