You would not believe that crap costs more, but it does.
If roads voted, they’d be taken care of.
Yeah. This is a damned surprise.
Not.
I live in one of these lousy states.
Unless they paved roads with “white top”.....
My travel experiences say you can always know it’s a blue state because the gas prices are high and the roads are always torn up...never fixed, just in a perpetual state of construction.
For the climate cultists, crappy roads are a feature, not a bug.
the projects are shovel ready, just need more money.
Democrats are intentionally ineffective at solving any problem, even the simplest of problem. It guarantees issues to campaign on. They just rotate issues, going from one failure to another, allowing enough time to pass for simpleton voters to forget the last time they Democrats failed. Republicans ain’t much better.
Wow. Back in the ‘90s, New Hampshire had the worst roads. You could tell the instant you crossed into the state: the roads went to crap. Pennsylvania was the next worst, of the states in the Northeast. (I know of nothing West of Oklahoma, until you get to Hawaii.)
But they have lots of graft for their democrat overlords, welfare for illegal aliens, and free drugs and syringes for the countless vagrants and drug addicts living on their sidewalks, so that’s all that really matters, right?
hey, just think....with those crappy roads, you cannot go and buy that super duper big name low slung big engined car, and cannot wrap it around a pole, thereby killing yourself!!
nanny state needs you alive, for your future tax remittance!!
That is exactly what it is like coming off the NY Thruway onto the Mass Pike as you cross into Stockbridge. Atrocious roads.
I would have bet on Pennsylvania being #1...certainly not #15. The interstates have been crap for DECADES! On a related note, wasn’t ‘The Road’ filmed in Pennsylvania? Case closed.
Lots of local governments only give road contracts to minority or women owned companies. Brand new roads in central Florida are horrible. Affirmative action in action. There is no incentive to do a good job.
Nine of the 10 states on the bottom were carried by Biden. The tenth (Wisconsin) was stolen by the Democrats. Seven of the top ten were carried by Trump, with Georgia stolen by the Democrats.
While living in the northeast, I drove a lot of roads in PA. Very bad roads. And the excuse that politicians gave was that the weather made it difficult to keep them in good shape.
I have also driven in Wisconsin. Nice roads there.
I thought Gov. Witchmer was supposed to “fix the d@mn roads?
I live in PA and when we moved their 10 years ago from NJ, the roads were bad or far worse in PA....However, now when I go into NJ, their back roads are horrible. PA’s back roads are better but nothing to write home about.
