I'm sick of this

[Full Quiver]

Millions of dollars are spent each year every where on road projects by local, state, and federal govt. In Oct of last year a project stared on a main highway by our house. The signs said they would finish up in May. Well of course they didn't, it went two months over schedule. Anyhow this weekend I noticed all lanes were open, the construction vehicles and workers were gone, the signs and barrels gone, but guess what? Tee road surface does not appear to be finished. The lines painted do not either. The median looks half way done. This stuff burns me up.

So far today I have contacted my US Congressman, 1 US Senator (the other is altogether useless, no mind of his own), my local councilman, the dept. of transportation, the actual project manager, and the media.

The project manager assures me the project is 100% and says they did a fine job. I bit my tongue and said ok thank you. I then called a local news outlet.

We pay I forget how many cents per gallon of fuel on state tax plus federal and then the state uses those funds for things other than what the law actually says they are to be used for, road construction. The feds normally match funds or whatever. This particular project replaced two bridges/overpasses. The bridges seem to be fine but the surface of the road looks like they need a paving crew and then a striping crew to follow up. Nope, the PM says they are 100%.
