MDOT is warning that 100+ Michigan bridges are at high risk of closure by 2035 without more money—fueling GOP claims that Gov. Whitmer prioritized ‘corporate welfare’ over roads. A Mackinac Center analysis says the state has already paid out about $670 million through the SOAR program—largely to five EV/renewables projects—with zero ‘qualified’ jobs reported so far. The Whitmer/MEDC side says those factory projects are long-term and still ramping.
