When "Poster-Child" roads don't work

The roads are intentionally left in poor repair.
Our state politicians are playing a game of show the need & divert the money. By managing the perception of “need” politicians are able to get support for additional taxes. Once the additional taxes are had, they are too often rerouted to other programs. (leaving the original “need” in tack, of course.)

What’s even more outrageous is, that with a state deficit & voters not approving new taxes, our governors solution is to the problem is to release prisoners and cut police and fire personnel. We’re so lucky, in this state, to have a govener who is so creative in his ways to threaten the voters!
