The lack of salt that is put on the roads is an utter disgrace. It took me over an hour to get from Lincoln Park to Novi (normally a 20-25 minute drive) because it was a sheer sheet of ice on I-96. There is NO EXCUSE for leaving the conditions so poor the Michigan drivers. It\'s no wonder why people are fleeing from this state in droves. It\'s a pathetic cess pool.

Please fix VanDyke from 15 Mile to Hall Road.Last year workers were moving at lightning speed fixing VanDyke from 8 Mile to 15. Every night lanes were shut down and it was amazing how much they accomplished each night. I could hardly wait to go to work so I could see what had been done during the night. Then all of a sudden work came to a screeching halt. The worst part of VanDyke was left to fall apart even more. I drive on VanDyke to work from just North of Plumbrook almost to Jefferson Ave. The random patching that has been done in the last few weeks merely puts loose material heaped up in a hole for cars to drive over. So most of the mess winds up on my windshield or on my undercairrage. So within a few days the holes are back worse than before because now all that repair material is everywhere being shot through the air by cars and trucks.

I can't believe the Governor is wanting to spend billions on windmills when no business in their right mind would come to a state with such pathetic roads. Lets get back to basics and fix our roads.
