Today in Beloit, I saw the city hot patch truck making the rounds on Prairie Ave filling in potholes. In 34 degree weather with snow flurries. On a road wet with slush and anti-icing chemicals.

All the County Budgets took a big time hit as of the first of the year. Wisconsin=Kochconsin. Might be able to purchase your road patch at your local Menards.

Just vote in a democrat now and then to have modern infrastructure.

I hope Hillary wins if in the GE.
However Bernie's one single issue to fix infrastructure requires putting millions of high paid Americans to work.
