Troopers told: Park it

Budget cuts and rising gasoline prices are keeping Michigan State Troopers in park.

Troopers have been limited to as little as 40 miles per eight hour shift. That's taking them off patrol and leaving them sitting on the shoulder. Some troopers are putting in their limits before lunchtime -- spending the rest of their shifts sitting at desks instead of patrolling the roads. (DetNews.com)
