August 25: Michigan road group pushes for more repair money from The Associated Press
- Frustrated with inaction from Michigan lawmakers, a coalition that wants the state to spend more money on road repairs is trying a new lobbying approach. The Michigan Transportation Team said Wednesday it recently sent the state's 148 House and Senate members and those running for office in November maps of their own districts highlighting major roads that are in poor condition. The group said lack of action to boost repairs over the past two years will make the state's major roads $1.1 billion more expensive to repair than it would have cost otherwise. Roads often cost more to fix the longer they're allowed to deteriorate.
