I was remarking just yesterday that if I didn’t remain vigilant (to see those potholes coming), the car could go nose-down and come to a dead stop.
Yeah, Illinois.
When I lived in Illinois, I saw a Prius go into one of those potholes and I’m not sure it ever came out.
Well graft will do that to a government
I guess the Crook County Democrats need a bigger cut of the loot collected by the Madigan Machine in Springfield.
In Houston the Hispanics call a big pot hole a “Botcho.” Little ones are “Son of Botcho.”
Pennsylvania’s gas tax, once the proud national leader, has fallen to no. 3 behind Kalifornia and Illinois. How sad.
But I still think PA has the worst potholes in the country.
There is negative correlation between ANY taxes and ANY government program. Otherwise, government would lose the ability to justify future taxes.
Ol’ Kevin is really hung up about potholes. 12 mentions of deem
holes in his essay.
The gas tax money is diverted to welfare accounts. Just another government sham.
I think Colorado stopped fixing potholes last year. Seriously. Never saw a crew fixing them and the roads are in terrible shape. Liberal programs were getting the money.
Virginia has some bad potholes on the rural roads, but nobody is going to bother to search Google about the problem. We know VDOT doesn’t care and works at their schedule. They will fix it when they fix it, whenever that might be, if ever.
Certainly no shortage of potholes and a$$holes in the state of Illinois.
Minnesota has two seasons.
Winter.
Road Repair.
In Indianapolis, the potholes around the Butler University campus are considered “tradition.”
Blue ballers…
Illinois among worst states in the country for assholes despite 2nd highest gas tax.
Makes more sense now.
I suspect politicos make this a problem they don’t bother with so they can put fixing them in their re-election platform. It’s not like anyone gets any screen time asking: “Waitammit, didn’t you run on that last time?”
You have to travel roads in New Jersey.
Here driving is a contact sport and some NJ roadways look like they’ve been hit by heavy artillery.
Southern area of Illinois is like the bastard step child.
Chicago gets the vast majority of any taxes and way down in agriculture south, crumbs.
Roads there are BAD.
