Lieutenant Governor says road funding is Snyder's hardest task

Lead in text: 
Calley tells audience in Holland that $1.2-billion is needed for roads. He says lawmakers should offer alternatives if they don't like Snyder's plan
During the past 10 years, the state has made aggressive attempts to rehabilitate roads, Calley said. However 17.2 percent of the state trunkline roads (those designated with an 'M' or an 'I') were rated as poor or very poor, while 33.6 percent were rated as excellent or good and 49.2 percent as fair, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.
