Welke called on Stupak to help improve the roads. "Taking cheap shots at this administration and this department may get you some headlines, but it's not going to help us fix our roads. Michigan's roads know no political party, and efforts to increase road funding have, up until now, been bipartisan," Welke said. According to Welke, Republican U.S.

Sen. Spencer Abraham, Democratic U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, and 15 of Michigan's 16 representatives in Congress are working together to get Michigan's fair share in the battle over reauthorization of the Inter-modal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act. "We've got a team working together and we're pulling in the same direction on this issue, and it's unfortunate that Mr.

Stupak is pulling the other way," Welke said. Stupak said last Tuesday that per mile of road in the state, MDOT spends $1,600 on administrative costs, while $1,300 per mile actually goes to maintenance and repair. Stupak said during an interview with the News-Review on Wednesday that he wouldn't support a gas-tax increase unless it contained provisions to ensure the surplus funds were spent only on Michigan's roads and bridges. "Everyone in Michigan is tired of having our gas tax money go to fund roads in-other states," Welke said. "We need every one of our members in Congress to help in the fight for our fair share.

Mr. Stupak should decide whether he's going to join this fight or simply get out of the way." STUPAK Continued from page 1 natcd by the GOP." According to ranks 46th in the nation when measuring the rate of return from the Federal Highway Trust Fund a national program to repair roads that each state pays into. Michigan receives only 78 percent of what the average state gets back from the fund, Welke said. "You simply can't spend what you don't get he said. Welke' added that even though overall appropriations for transportation have risen in recent years, Congress hasn't allowed the states to spend all that has been allocated, thereby decreasing available funds for roads while masking the federal deficit.

Last week, Stupak said Michigan ranks 46th in its rate of return from the federal program because state officials don't demonstrate responsible use of road funds. He said in order to look to the federal government for assistance in roadway repairs, the state must show responsible funding of maintenance. To increase the funds spent on road repairs, Stupak suggested stopping administrative "dipping" into road funds, as well aS limiting how the funds can be used. Welke asserts the transportation department has "never been more efficient." "Our department will be 25 percent smaller in 1997 than we were in 1992, and during the past four years, we've managed to rehabilitate more miles of roads, fix more bridges and institute more capital preventive maintenance programs than in any other four-year period in Michigan history," Welke said. 54 Friendship Center Chorus.
