Gov. Giving Grants To Villages and Small Cities For Road Repair 

We all can agree that road repairs in our great state are something that has been needed for a long time. When I moved back here 3 years ago, it was alarming the conditions on some of the roads here. I drove to St Clare Shores to see a friend and was amazed to see all the potholes in the area.

I had an incident in Northville where I hit a pothole and it almost pushed me into another car. Just 2 months ago, I hit a big one in the dark while I was only doing 40 mph and it gave me a blowout and it took my tire clean off and bent my rim. Ended up costing me nearly 500 dollars. It was a Friday night and ruined my weekend, not to mention scared the heck out of me when I hit it.
