(10/05/19 3:41am)

The Michigan House and Senate sent a budget to Gov. Whitmer’s desk last week allocating an additional $400 million to the annual $468 million the state spends on roads and bridges. Michigan’s governor strongly opposed it, stating that "These one-time dollars are enough to fix four bridges in a state that currently has over 1,000 state and local bridges rated in poor condition.” But on September 30, Whitmer signed the budget into law to avoid a government shutdown.
