Anybody remember an old TV show called “The Real McCoys”?
In one episode, that is exactly what they did. They filled a pothole in their street with concrete. It was a “little guy vs the government” episode thta was kinda interesting.
Not a smart idea when you throw in the safety aspect. I’m talking orange vests, safety cones/signs etc.
Wait, no you need at least 5 overweight slow guys with hard hats to stand around, block traffic and walk back and forth for a minimum of two days per pothole making union wage and only doing their permitted part of the job
Ain’t got no money for potholes.
We’ve gotta give those illegals welfare and medicare.
And free college.
He's going to meet with the governor, maybe something good will come from that.
Sounds like my story from 40 years ago. I grew up in Michigan and had a oiled dirt & gravel road leading to our house that would get potholes in the Spring and would bottom-out a car. As a 16 year old, I repaired some of the potholes myself. One day I drove around some of the potholes and got a ticket from an unsympathetic A-hole cop, which the judge was also unsympathetic. Used to call her “hanging” Allice.
Have they arrested the kid yet?
Can he come out and help Philly and our kenney road kraters?
somebody’s got to do it - cause it sure ain’t this Detroit road crew.

Back in the 70’s a Pennsylvania jokester started planting pine trees in the pot holes at night. It got so much news coverage it shamed the politicians into getting them fixed.
We just spray painted big white rings around them.
Muskegon Heights, the city where this story is about, is one of the most if not the most liberal parts of west Michigan. Think little Detroit. Think all kinds of federal money being spent on entrenched bureaucrats and bureaucracy and none of it trickling down.
When you look at the new silver architecture studding skylines of European and Asian cities, it is a disturbing feeling to realize how few innovative structures are being built in the US.
When did America cease to thrive? When did the beacon of free enterprise succumb to being so shabby? Trillions a year spent and we can’t even afford to fix potholes. Are the good times really over for good?
Nice..young man, you are doing something...good job..
Here in Michigan we already pay the highest automobile insurance in the country. The state recently raised our registration fees and now they want to hit us with higher fuel tax. Yes the roads are horrible and the car repairs are atrocious, but regardless of higher taxes, I don’t expect anything to change except higher graft payouts.
Bamma spent nearly a trillion dollars and all we have to show for it is higher taxes and a higher deficit.
Obama even laughed and said “well, I guess those shovel ready jobs weren’t so shovel ready”.
Really, at least he is trying to fix up a road...
Replacing potholes with mud holes! Michigan ingenuity is why Detroit is the way it is.
