What the heck is going on here?------------Lawmakers have until July 1 to find $115M in road projects

Lawmakers have until July 1 to find $115M in road projects | Crain's Detroit Business:
"Top Republican lawmakers have less than two weeks to come up with a new list of priority road projects to fund, but it’s not clear if they can come up with enough projects in time.
A supplemental funding bill signed by Gov. Rick Snyder in March again gave the Legislature the authority to award $115 million to various road projects of their choosing across the state.
Specifically, the law says;
“Projects shall be obligated and construction shall be underway or design work shall be completed by July 1, 2014.”
Local government groups and transportation advocates take that to mean that at this point, due to the pending deadline, the only projects lawmakers could fund with this money are ones that have already been fully engineered and are simply awaiting the money to begin turning dirt.
That means some projects that could receive funding may not be of the highest priority, but are ones that are the most ready to begin."
