2. I live in his disctrict in the city of Middletown. The roads are so rutted here,
It looks like bombs have been dropped, the bridges are falling apart, the sewers are in dire need of repair, empty houses everywhere and good luck finding a job.

3. I sit on the transportation committee of our county board
we are three years into a pattern of replacing 2 bridges a year while we should be replacing 6. We do not have the money to do more. Weight limits will be placed on some structures. In time others will be closed if the funding issue is not resolved, This is a Federal, State and Local problem that exists ALL across the US. Our infrastrcture is crumbling.
But at least the rich still have their George W. Bush Tax give-a-ways.

4. The GOP answer to that would be privatize them
Buy a bridge and then you can fix it for the state.
