It’s all about the roads!
Remember: It’s about the roads.
Say it with me again so there’s no forgetting: It’s about the roads.
No, it’s not. And I’ve got it straight from the horse’s mouth on why this actually isn’t.

Yessirree, that is, as chair, one helluva record you got going, Pete.

I couldn’t agree with you more, Richard.
Michigan Motorists need not worry about Michigan Roads. Rich Studley and the Michigan Chamber of Commerce have got this one covered.
(4)Nuh Uh.(0)That’s right, 82 years.
Perhaps, this is why TJ warned us about “boni judicis est ampliare juris-dictionem.” in 1820? I’m confident you all will figure it out.
Ps. y’all be safe out there.

Cindy Gamrat is not giving up on setting the record straight in a recent messaging effort.
In my opinion she is rightfully standing firm and remains the best choice for voters in tomorrow’s special election. A strange mission by house leadership, and the agenda that is in play to control the 80th district seat and its votes is simply bad for Michigan. Our Lansing politicos have indeed gone to the dark side (timely Star Wars reference) after pretending a change to be made in the way things are done in the capitol.
The problem is that there is a lot of money to be made for SOME folks as the Michigan legislature passes more and higher taxes upon the serfs of the state. As we’ve seen, no majority of GOP in our houses can guarantee responsible management of what we have already surrendered, as long as the special lobbying interests push higher taxes to pad their road building bank accounts.
(18)Nuh Uh.(0)The mistake in Sunday's Record Eagle was undoubtedly not purposeful, however ..
It is unnecessary to dig the hole any larger or deeper.
The Traverse City Record Eagle editors have been bombarded with negative FB posts, and probably filled in boxes since the posting of Sunday’s page three error. They have been accused of having an agenda that is anti gun, and purposefully going after the ‘headline readers;’ those folks who scan the newspaper and rarely read the content.
It was a doozy of a mistake, and likely one they painfully regret. And however unlikely it is that the newspaper would try such a thing purposefully (I am sure it was not intentional), it does underscore one aspect of today’s journalism.
The “shooter” key is used more frequently in the newspaper environment than the “backspace” key.
It is pre-programmed whenever there is a mass killing (unless abortion is involved) anywhere in the county. In the front page response to the mistake and its ‘notoriety’ the editors apparently cannot accept that their own perspective and that programming has not perhaps led to this unfortunate error. The image to the right suggests such an attitude.
Its tough to be the news I suppose.

(11)Nuh Uh.(0)This is a rather entertaining series on how government works.
Duggan isn’t corrupt? Here, pull this finger.
I hope Slick Rick’s inaugural emcee buddy ends up in a cell next to Kwame.
(15)Nuh Uh.(0)House Democrat turns on the heat.
Kirk Steudle was appointed long before Rick Snyder was the new sheriff.
Jennifer Granholm appointed Steudle to the Michigan Department of Transportation post in 2006. He did such a bang up job leading to our current road conditions across the state, that no local communities have had to pursue their own millages for road fixes, and the trunklines, bridges and arteries are in top notch shape. In fact, we have been able to lower taxes, return money to taxpayers and by-golly, put shock absorber companies at risk due to lack of business.
Now, [SARC OFF] a Democrat legislator is doing the job that any one of dozens of Republicans should have done LONG before ever asking taxpayers to bend over last May. From the Lansing State Journal:
In a news release late Wednesday, State Rep. Scott Dianda, D-Calumet, a former MDOT employee and state employee union official, said he’d introduced a bipartisan resolution citing numerous issues — from idle railcars that cost millions of dollars to state auditors’ repeated warnings about weak oversight of MDOT’s warranty program — that he says show Steudle is “unfit to lead the department.”
Huh, I wonder where we have seen that before?
