    Yeah the GOP tried that in Michigan in select cities during the Snyder administration using their “Emergency Manager” law. They tried to save money in Flint by switching to a closer water source and then proceeded to cut corners in that transition process. Obviously things went very poorly.

      Yeah and their decades of leadership left the roads in shambles yet they have the nerve to bitch about the road work every summer. Maybe they wouldn’t have to replace every single overpass if you guys just did regular maintenance in the 90s, 00s and 10s.

          I am loving being ignorant to what you are speaking on as now I am thinking some how the Irish Republican Army is funneling money into MI for some reason.

            lol it’s the Inflation Reduction Act that was signed while Biden was in office. It included a bunch of funding items, but notably it had money for transportation infrastructure across the nation. Whitmer ran on fixing the roads, but struggled to get funding with the GOP running the state legislature for the first part of her time as governor.
