One of the biggest challenges for our city and county and this state in general is that we do not repair the roads correctly. And I believe that it is done intentionally to keep our union labor with work. The federal government sent our DOT a packet on how to seal the roads to help them last longer and their response was they LOST it. This is simply unacceptable. The management all the way to the workers need to be audited and I would not be surprised at how inefficiently run our road repair and maintenance crews are run. It is a big issue and we continue to ignore how much the labor unions are hindering our efforts to provide better roads for our tax dollars. Until we learn we will continue to suffer from bad road conditions. Another thing is that large vehicles should really be taxed more due to the amount of damage that they do to our roads.
