Hemmings Daily: Michigan military vehicles not even approved for parade use after licensing bill vetoed

After vetoing a bill designed to permit licensing of surplus military vehicles for street use in Michigan, former Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has effectively made it impossible to drive military vehicles in parades or other on-road functions throughout the state, according to a group of military vehicle enthusiasts who fought to get the bill passed.
