It’s time to catch up on our Community Comments. Our ongoing editorials about Michigan’s crumbling roads and bridges prompted this comment and question from Michael Zubos. He writes:
“The major issue with our local roads is lack of funding. The state can make I-75 look really nice north of Pontiac all the way to Mackinac but we can’t afford a new section of local roads?”
Our station editorial urging citizens to get out and vote on Election Day generated this reply from Mary Hall-Rayford:
“Thanks Mike Murri for reminding viewers that none of us should take voting or our democracy for granted. As a viewer, I appreciate your efforts to remind us that we have a constitutional right to vote our choice as to who represents our interests best.”
The good news? Michigan had a record turnout this midterm.
Eileen Lynch said:
“Nice opinion, but really? It is no longer one ‘man’ one vote. “
So true. Women and their pink wave swept a lot of people they wanted into office.

“Congratulations Channel 7 on your 70th anniversary! The positive impact you’ve had on this city and state can’t be measured.”

I learned more from that forum than anything else I have seen or read. Thank you!”
