Are you sick of potholes? I know we sure are in Kalamazoo, Michigan. That’s why Jon Hoadley, candidate for State Representative in MI HD-60, and his campaign team launched a website called FixMIPotholes.com to bring attention to reinvestment in our infrastructure.
On the website, you can sign a petition to tell Lansing they need to reinvest in our roads, and submit a picture of a pothole you’ve seen recently. We already have over 100 signatures on the petition, with more on their way.
Currently, Michigan ranks last in the country when it comes to per capita investment in infrastructure. This means we’re not spending enough money on vital infrastructure like repairing our roads. Our roads have more than 11 billion dollars in deferred maintenance. Think it doesn’t cause people problems? It does - the average person will spend 357 dollars per year to fix their car due to the conditions of our roads.
We released this site because right now, Michigan is having a conversation about what to do with a surplus in our budget. Instead of prioritizing reinvestment in our infrastructure, Gov. Snyder has proposed a one-time election year tax rebate to certain folks in Michigan. We think their priorities are off balance and need to be fixed - just like our roads.
