Camilleri hopes to provide some relief from that unlucky, but all too frequent, occurrence for Michigan drivers, with a trio of bills that will make it easier to get reimbursed by the state and local governments for damages caused by potholes.
The bills would require the Michigan Department of Transportation to create a publicly accessible website for people to report potholes and would increase the amount that the state could pay a driver to reimburse for pothole damage from $1,000 to $5,000.
