Montcalm County never had good secondary roads. I have lived there since the 1960s. The log roads (laid at right angles to the direction) were put in early in the 20th century and were better than the mcadam roads the county insisted on. Plus they never maintained the dirt roads either and lied to the state regarding the number of miles of road they were paid to maintain in the first place. County put all their money in building a new county government building and road maintenance barn and not in maintaining what they had.

Wrong again ENGLER screwed michigan and he needs to be your scapegoat. I was born in michigan and watched it decline since the 1950s.
