If you look at a couple sections of RT109 from RT25 to the 90 Degree turn on South Main St in wolefboro you can see that the road can indeed be fixed to not have the whoopdeedoos. By 19 Mile Bay from the store to the PAK 2000 business and from the town line in Wolfeboro up past the hairpin turn it is like glass all winter. They just won;t spring for the reconstruction. So we are relegated to the speed bump, car sickness invoking roads. Same goes for RT109A. And many others. Look at RT25. Holy crap what a mess that road is as well. That said RT109 is a scenic byway and is eligible for Federal money to improve the roadway. Just no one wants to do it.
The problem as mentioned about the gas tax, (Use tax) is that the money will never go to the roads. Every politician will have their hands in the pockets of the tax pants until someone pulls up the bottom of the pocket to say "See we are out of money again, let's raise the tax again. It will never end. I say cut the pork too. Let's kill some of those EBT cards, hunt down the welfare violators, system beaters, etc.....But no one will do it...There is more than one way to come up with money. I am not against a tax increase for gas. I am against it not going to where they say it will. We need to make the State accountable for fixing our infrastructure and if it does not happen, we need to get rid of the people that are holding these offices. Plain and simply....no one will do it.
