    When you spend billions to provide free room, board, and health care for non violent dopes and mopes who are charged with crimes who the only real victim is the perp……at a rate of about 50k a year which is always minimized to numbers half the amount, but never takes into account personnel and prison capital projects, you end up without enough money to fix roads, bridges, and sidewalks. Until there are changes in sentencing laws for non violent dopes and mopes, you can bet there will be shortfalls in funding.

    However, striping is an immediate safety need, even though the brain trust in government will be repaving probably in the spring on some of these roads…..believe it.

    All the work being done on roads around here and no attention paid to one of the worst roads in the county… Pine Barren between hwy 4 and hwy 168 is horrible and usually filled with reckless teenagers!!!!!

    Roads in this north end of the county actually could use repaving not aesthetics, As taxes continually are cut so goes the funding for decent roads and bridges. I would be happy to pay a little extra on the dollar to support our community. I see the infrastructure declining yearly in lots of areas that could use some effort or support by our Representatives.

    YES! Inmates need to be PAYING BACK!!! Why can’t they do it all? They are costing us money.

    It would also be nice to see some paving on HWY 99, the fixing of the potholes that was JUST done, needs more attention, like the whole road to be paved…

    It would be nice to see some real work done on Highway 164.

    This is great these roads are in need of repair, but also wondering why Pine Barren Rd is not on the list? Pine Barren is a very very heavily traveled road by many and in a great need of repai, patch work is not repaid, just one week of round trips on Pine Barren one needs to have their vehicle realigned due to all the pot hole patch work. Pine Barren actually just had paint work for middle lines done that is so crooked it is ridiculous, yet no new pavement? Hwy 164 needs it as well another heavily traveled Rd and hwy 4 ? Would be great to have this end repaired in more needed areas seeing as many pay a great deal in taxes.
