Seems as though we're enduring an epidemic of flat tires, and breathing dirty air from teh dust being kicked up by all the cars driving across permanently filthy streets...

The pathetic attempts at resurfacing our streets after "repairs" are completed are basically the result of stimulus funds going towards utilities and municipalities who wish to take advantage of RINC funds for the underground work, without wasting any on the final results on the surface. Clearly these RINC beneficialries don't need to complete their work with any paving proficiency...Too bad there aren't any legal liabilities for all the private contractors that the Feds were depending on to keep the economy rolling !
