A reporter hit a giant pothole on her way to conduct an interview about pressing issues, like funding for road repairs.

Our roads will continue to get worse until we find a good way to fund them, such as raising the sales tax.

A new form of local revenue for roads could become a topic for cities across Michigan.

A solution to Michigan’s ailing infrastructure before 2014 is looking dimmer and dimmer, according to Gongwer News.

A long-term solution for road funding is still a priority, according to lawmakers and the Governor.

Governor Rick Snyder is pushing lawmakers to act soon to adopt a road funding plan.
