I live on an unpaved road right now. No city maintenance it's up to the homeowners to do it all.
So it's the Bush tax cut that keeps those roads from being paved and maintained? I think not. If government was more efficient in their spending on the roads in the rest of your state they could pave and maintain the other roads without increased taxes.
A prime example of government's inability to manage the roads is how long it has/will take to spend the money associated with TEA-21. As the government delays spending the roads worsen which ends up boosting repair costs exponentially.
