And almost all of that money if it even went to the roads (lol, not a chance) would have gone to almost exclusively to the Detroit area. Way to screw the rest of the state and I live and work in that part of the state.
Read this. Plan B to us not wanting a tax hike
Whitmer: 'No more waiting'; state to borrow $3.5B for roads
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Wednesday that Michigan will borrow $3.5 billion to rebuild the state's deteriorating highways and bridges over five years, calling it a fiscally responsible move after the Republican-led Legislature rejected her proposed fuel tax hike.

Whitmer: Michigan to borrow $3.5B to rebuild highways, bridges in State of State | FOX 2 Detroit
The Democrat unveiled the bonding plan during her second annual State of the State speech to lawmakers. It will enable the state Department of Transportation to do about twice as much construction on I-, U.S.- and M-numbered routes as it can now, she said. The funds would not be used to repair...
Amen brother! I live in the metro hell hole, but my best time is spent in the conservative portions of our state. As far as gun laws go, I think we are more fortunate than most... for now.
I refer to her as satan’s daughter. Pelosi is Satan’s bitch. Hillary is Satan’s mother.
So yeah, Pelosi’s baby works!
Her state employees may back her but lucky for us our local LE is comprised of guys who grew up and still live here.
There’s also a vote every 6 years to renew the Sheriff Dept operating millage. Not siding with the voters would be a sure way to the Michigan works unemployment line
Sheriff put in the local papers that as long as he was sheriff there would be zero infringement on the 2A. That was just after Sandy Hook. And while working for him or as a citizen I can attest to the fact that he is as solid as they come. Retired Marine Officer as well.
Unfortunately he’s retiring this year after putting in a great run and fighting for our Dept every inch. Sheriff is elected so I’m hoping the replacement is as good.

You still have not given even a shred of an answer to what you actually achieve with your 'defiance'.
If someone were to order a ban on AR15s or whatever, I am all for ignoring that order because you, I, and everyone else who disobeys the order keeps the hardware for another day. So there is a gain even though, on paper, our freedom is gone.
If someone does not wear a respirator during an asbestos cleanup because he is afraid to bow to the OSHA or the boss man, I would not give a shit. That guy gains nothing other than the risk of asbestosis, mesothelioma, etc. However, these diseases are not contagious, so he is not putting other's lives in danger for his zero (or negative) gain.
You OTOH do put the life of others's at risk and increase the time of lock down. So, WHAT IS YOUR TANGIBLE GAIN for your reckless and asocial behavior?
Who are you in this scenario? The little bitch who makes everyone's lives harder or one of those who actually put bullies and wannabe tyrants in their place?
The .016% of the US population who have tested positive as of today is only the tip of the iceberg. We did not test everyone, so who knows how big that iceberg is. The smaller it stays, the sooner we get back to work. It is really that simple.
There is a savior I bow to and owe my life to but he is not from this Earth.
Your last statement is our common ground.
The rest is just stupid. Keep believing what you are told to believe. Look at the photo I posted. Does it look like these people are concerned of this virus? This isn’t the virus thread anyhow. Let’s leave this to Michigan.

Another thought for you michiganders......file a recall on her ass.
Living in wisconsin, i am a proponent of annexing everything south of I90 and letting illinois have it. Right after we seize the UP from the trolls. Shut the bridge down, or even take it down and sell it for scrap. That’s what should happen.

This has gotten over 100k signatures in the last 2 days. Hopefully it will go somewhere.
There are petitions. I signed several during the Virginia gun control stuff we just witnessed. As well as the one posted above for MI. I’m very serious when I say she is looking to become everyone’s problem. So if we get rid of her, most likely in election, watch out for what she may run for next.
As to your Wisconsin idea almost everyone of us says the same thing. There’s always the talk of becoming our own state. There was a recent poll going around as to which city would be the capital and that was voted on by people who haven’t got a clue as to what actually goes on and chose Marquette MI, the only democratic city/county during trumps election. So that would just be more of the same with less funding etc
Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Kent county (which have the major cities like Detroit) have about 4.5 million people. There’s about 9.9 million people total in MI. 311,000 in the UP. Wayne county alone is 5.6 times the population of the entire UP.
One major thing here that really effects us is voting on wolf hunting. When the feds allow it that is. In the UP we have a decent amount of wolves that kill cattle. We want a wolf season. Goes to a state vote. Gets destroyed without 3/4 of the population in Detroit even needing to get off their couch. They don’t have the issue down state but they control the laws.
That’s why we elect complete fucking idiots. Two of those counties alone control 1/3 of the votes and make up a good portion of the people living off the dems free promises.
That’s enough ranting from me guys. Again I’ll say all this aside I really live in Gods country. Rifle season is treated like a holiday. We’re all about helping each other out and drinking beer. We can also shoot guns anytime we want, have great fishing (currently from the shore) and enjoy a healthy dose of some awesome changes in weather.
Just pay attention if her name comes up at higher levels. Don’t get fooled by the BS that was getting put out during the fix roads/state of union speech time.
She is making national news now, lol
Our Gov made the comment he could call for "Shelter in place", wrong terminology I believe, but said he had the means to back it up. Not sure what that meant exactly.

Coronavirus stay-at-home orders stir protests nationwide amid fears of economic collapse
At least 15,000 cars and trucks are expected to descend on Michigan’s state capital on Wednesday to protest what they are calling Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s tyrannical new guidelines to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus in the state.

You're swallowing the government lie hook, line, and sinker. You have to uproot the last little bit of european left in you.
Nice to see that someone actually fought back...
After lawsuit, Whitmer clarifies protesting allowed under stay-home order

I think the issue is more that I have been educated in different countries and various disciplines and learned to reason from first principles. First principles are facts, axioms, and natural laws that are undisputed and not subject to political bias or agenda. AOC may argue with e=mc^2 as you would expect from someone who values her version of 'morality' over being factually right. However, if she hits a phone pole in her car, Einstein's / Newton's laws and not her opinion are ruling over the final outcome. Any knowledge that survived decades, centuries, or even millennia undisputed weighs more in my analysis than what the current government recommends. If there is agreement, fine but otherwise I stick to proven facts and solid logical connections.
Yes, the tyrants in our governments are milking this crisis for all they can but that does not change the biological facts of contagious diseases, the physics of air filtration, or the anatomy of our lungs. I see no point in buying a ticket for a lottery with no prize other than a .1% to 2% chance of death and an even greater chance of permanent reduction of vital capacity. (Even the more risky choices in my life, like cave diving or flying small airplanes in remote areas are nowhere near these odds and actually provide a gain)
When the first unofficial videos came out of Wuhan, I hoped that China would be able to contain this and that the virus would have a preference for the local climate and population. Then came the travel restriction while the official statement still was "No problem here". That's when I assumed that the horse was out of the barn and stocked up on more food and PPE. No crazy hoarding, just what I need for a couple of months. I ignored the official bs about masks not working and when the lock-down orders finally came, there was no need for change in my life at all. Right now, .gov and I are on the same page as far as prudent behavior is concerned but that may change when we get 'ordered' back to business. I feel sorry for the restaurants, sports venues, bars, etc. but they have to get by without my patronage for a while.
That being said, I am looking forward to a wave of lawsuits and voter backlash against the heavy-handed tyrants.
