What a shock. Industry wants us to spend more money on roads.
From all that you wouldn't know that Michigan spent 53% more per mile than the national average, as reported here in 2013 (overall story here).
Michigan actually ranks 37th in total disbursements per mile.
That's quite a different picture than being dead last per capita.
Think about it. If Michigan roads are so bad, maybe spending per mile has been spent on the wrong people, namely the unions in control of the industry. If we're not getting what we're paying for, maybe we should hire someone else instead of throwing more money at the problem.
