The head of the Michigan Department of Transportation is responding to recent criticism from State Representative Scott Dianda.
The Upper Peninsula lawmaker wants a no confidence vote against Kirk Steudle because Dianda thinks funds were mismanaged on projects like the I-696 corridor in Detroit, where mulch was used to spread over dead landscaping.
But Steudle says that mulch was meant to prevent soil erosion.
He doesn’t know why he’s in Dianda’s crosshairs but believes Dianda is going to say whatever he wants to say, regardless of whether or not it’s true.
Dianda introduced a resolution calling for the vote of no confidence.
It has not been taken up yet by the Michigan House.
