Are there road and bridge repair stimulus projects going on where you live?

They are all around here. Everywhere you look some company is fixing roads and bridges. Lot of people working.

Republicans piss away our money to blow up roads and bridges somewhere. Democrats use it to build roads and bridges.

5. Not really. Despite having the worst unemployment, Michigan has been shortchanged by the stimulus

It's not a big surprise that Illinois gets more than its fair share. :hi:
