No kidding, i was in the nyc area a few weeks ago and was amazed at the poor road conditions. Government should take care of basic services like roads and bridges but in NY they are diverting all those funds to social programs.
Get ready for a 100 billion dollar bond issue (tax) to fix everything they are supposed to do but don’t as part of the basic expected government services.
