“I ran on fixing the damn roads, but we all know that it wasn’t just roads. It was dams and roads,” the Democratic governor said. She indicated her 45-cent-a-gallon gas tax increase proposal that would have generated $1.9 billion for state infrastructure such as roads and bridges could have provided additional cash for dams, but “was not embraced with a lot of enthusiasm.”
But increased dam funding wasn't included in Whitmer's first executive budget, which was built around the assumption that the 45-cents-a-gallon gas tax increase would be approved, said James Hohman, director of fiscal policy for the free-market-oriented Mackinac Center for Public Policy in Midland.
"It just wasn’t a part of her plan," Hohman said. In fact, the budget "included a recommended reduction in the small dam capital improvement fund the state operates.”

I wonder who she'll throw under the bus for this one (if she even acknowledges this). She has thrown Dr. J under the bus for the nursing home scandal. Speaking of which, it seems that her covid press conferences are a thing of the past, doesn’t it?

Most politicians lie whenever their lips move. Whitmer is no exception.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

This one seems quite consequential though, doesn't it?

Whenever they say "I met a wonderful person named Molly yesterday, and she told me blah, blah, blah", I assume it's likely that no such person exists, nor did any such conversation take place.

She is so full of shit and a complete hypocrite. I really despise her and it never used to be this way until her ridiculous restrictions in late March/ early April and being completely disingenuous. I can only blame myself, I voted for her because I was no Schuette fan but not again Queen Gretch. I got your number now!

I always think this about anything like that or something on a commercial...

If you look at Snyder's administration, you will find she has had more luck with the Legislature so far than he had.
Politics requires negotiation, and it's time you start looking at how little Lee Chatfield has done to better the state. He really doesn't seem to do much but get caught trying to board planes with a handgun.
