Infrastructure
"It is imperative that we fully restore, renew, and improve our entire dilapidated infrastructure system. It's a domestic security priority."
-Mark Bignell
Electricity Utility Transmission
We must as a state, redevelop and upgrade our electrical grid. It's crucial to our independence and the future economic development of our state.
Public Works
It's time for a 21st Century Jobs Plan. So, let's look back at history to see what worked and how. I propose we bring back a version of the Works Progress Administration for Michigan, by reforming MI-Works. By employing Michiganders on public works projects in this fashion, we can decrease unemployment, retrain Michiganders in the trades, grow the economy and rebuild Michigan for a 21st century economy.
Public Water Utilities
Public Water Utility Services have failed in maintaining the public goods they deliver. This is at no fault to the consumer, therefore this infrastructure must be replaced for the public good.
Roads & Bridges
The condition of our transportation network is an abysmal mess. As a professional trucker, I've driven the national network through some of the worst Highways, Byways, and Freeways the country has. Without a comprehensive Highway and Infrastructure Renewal Initiative, we cannot make our system of transportation truly 21st century safe or efficient. The time is now, to form and fully fund this.
Rest Area Modernization
As with the condition of our state's transportation network, the state of our Rest Area Network is below par with many other comparable statewide Rest Area Networks. Our network disincentives tourism and presents visitors with a negative impression of our state. As a trucker, these safe havens are vital harbors for drivers, that promote commerce, highway safety and are tourism information hubs. It's time to revitalize the state Rest Area Network and modernize them for a new generation of tourism and commerce.
