I wonder if 'the people in office' look at not fixing the roads as a form of job security. If the road doesn't get fixed this year the will need to be there next year to listen. Sort of like the office desk job that has mounds of papers every where and sees it as look how busy I am with all of this work I'm doing...or not doing.
Imo, higher taxes are almost never the right answer. There is money set aside it's only to be used on what they want it used for. It surprises me the State wouldn't be super aggressive at maintaining your roads. People love to get out and drive, and the views in NH are breath taking. At the same time I will back pedal myself and mention the progress on I-93 is very nice. It's great to get where you want to go but when you get there you have to miss the views because you keep banging your head against the roof of the car.....well.
Wasn't the stimulus all federal money? It didn't seem to accomplish much in a beneficial way.
