    Rep. Donni Steele, R-Orion Township, similarly argued any spare money in the transportation budget should go to filling potholes and improving roads. “Regular people don’t care about electric bikes,” Steele said in a statement.

    Wikipedia says:

    [Orion] township hosts General Motors’ Orion Assembly plant which produces small cars and EV pickup trucks.

    Nope, no bias there whatsoever. Couldn’t possibly be any. Not one iota. Nada.

    whats funny is 3mil is low for transportation costs. any us of the bikes over cars will likely prevent more potholes than the money could fix.
