MI-GOV: Bill Schuette: I'll figure out how to fix Michigan roads after I win

[RandySF]

Republican Bill Schuette has a two-step plan for fixing Michigan’s roads.

First, he says, he’ll win the governor’s race against Democrat Gretchen Whitmer in a squeaker. Then, he’ll figure out the details.

During a one-hour interview last week with Bridge Magazine and its partners in the Detroit Journalism Cooperative, Schuette agreed more attention and consistent funding are necessary for the state’s battered roads, but declined to say whether he agreed with an independent infrastructure commission’s finding that the state needs to spend more than $2 billion per year just to fix Michigan’s current roads.

“When the dust settles and the polls close, I'm going to win this race by a narrow margin, 52-48, whatever it is, and we're going to win — and then we'll start a process of how we build towards the future,” Schuette said.

The comments came during a broader discussion in which Schuette reiterated his commitment to schools of choice, defended his office’s prosecution of state and local officials in the Flint water crisis and claimed Whitmer “wants to tax everything that moves.”

1. That is the same plan Snyder had for Flint.

2. He seems awfully sure of his win.

The polls show her up by double digits. Does he know about some Russian meddling?

He's a criminal like Trump.

3. Yes some FBI agents should be looking into this
