We need our roads to be repaired but I am not in favor of increasing taxes,.

I would favor eliminating Michigan's Prevailing Wage law.  Under the Prevailing Wage Act projects financed with state funding require that union wages and benefits be paid by non-union contractors.  It has been estimated that the cost of a project is increased from five to fifteen percent under this law.  Repeal would give small contractors a chance to bid on projects at a lower cost to the citizens--not just on road projects by school building projects, etc.  I believe its time to have our state behave like a mom and pop business--not like the bureaucracy it has become.
