Just listening to the local news. Seems Macomb County and Oakland County Michigan are up in arms about having to give military vehicles back to the Feds. Sheriffs from both counties claim they need the vehicles, not only that, they want more. Feds coming to take them away in early Dec.
It' not everything, but it's a start.
