The (MN)governor’s bonding bill totals $850 million. Only 5 percent of that is dedicated to roads. This is all you need to know about where the governor’s priorities are.
In Jackson Michigan they approved $2 million from transportation funding to tear down a massive concrete wall they never should have built. Cascades park has a big fountain/waterfall with lights etc. In the 80s they decided to put up a big concrete wall to prevent non paying people from looking at it now they want to tear it down and put up wrought iron fence.
Fortunately a all hell broke loose and they decided to find the money somewhere else.
