Michigan government is so corrupt. The road builders and heavy load trucking companies have had the politicians in their back pockets since day one. The State budget for roads is 3.3 billion dollars. I’ve seen new roads fall apart in less than a year. Poor construction, heavy truck loads. It’s criminal.

One certain way to spread the dollars is to allow nonunion contractors to bid. Many of the union companies are “double breasted” and you get the same work by the same experienced supervisors for one-third less. That's approximately one billion dollars more for roads in Michigan.
