Well, I think I am getting the Volume and Issue thing straight. Maybe...
Here is the Road Kill News(c) for another week. Stuff that has something to do with the shape of roads in Michigan - or not. You decide. Just click on the headlines to read.
Why do truck weigh stations seem like they're always closed?
From Michigan Public Radio. How can a weigh station enforce fines on overweight trucks, which some think are destroying our roads, if they always seem to be closed?
AAA says more than a million Michiganders rushing to catch last of the summer sun
Seems like more people are driving this Labor Day, partly because gas is cheaper. Would you be willing to pay a bit extra at the pump to get better roads. Ourignorantcluelessnice lawmakers in Lansing don't think so.
State says lease payments to end soon on idle rail cars
State pays $3,000-a-day lease payments on idle train cars - $10 million since 2010 - before finally figuring it's not a good idea. No wonder there is so little money for roads. WTF!
Investigation finds Courser-Gamrat "committed misconduct" and are "not credible witnesses"
Those of us not living under a rock the past few weeks know about this. But the photos of them in this Michigan Radio article are creepy: Their staring right at you! Now some think this is going to keep the hired help in Lansing too busy to come up with a Compromise Road Funding Bill in September. Thanks to two Tea Party lawmakers acting like hormone engorged unchaperoned teenagers under the high school bleachers. How's that working out for ya kids?
Michigan’s Local Leaders Turn Against Zombie Republican Lawmakers
From the Democracy Tree website. The opening paragraph says it all about 'Zombie Lawmakers' -
"The Courser-Gamrat affair, while tawdry in its details, remains the act of two nutty freshmen lawmakers, and simply does not rise to the ethically criminal category found in the dereliction of duty of Republican leadership in Lansing."
Zombie Lawmakers simply don't get things done in Lansing. Why?
