LET'S TALK ABOUT ROADS #AnnArbor #a2council
From the August 2018 Ann Arbor Observer:
"...When Councilmember Eaton levied his first Stadium Bridge critique back in 2010, he proposed that we go into debt to fix the bridge," [Mayor Taylor] emails.
From the August 2018 Ann Arbor Observer:

[Taylor continues] "Instead we applied for and won federal grants, saving Ann Arbor $14M+ that we've used over the past 8 years** to fix the roads all over town." #a2council
"That's what I offered at the time," responds Eaton. "If we'd simply been ready, we could have gotten the entire project funded." #a2council
"That's profoundly speculative," retorts Taylor. "He suggested borrowing $14M to fix the bridges, and if we'd done that we'd still be paying that off, and our roads would be in far, far worse shape." #a2council
**NOTE: while funding dried up at state level due to tax cuts for wealthy and big business signed into law by Governor Snyder #a2council
