Bad Roads & Traffic Jams in Lake County? Perhaps we need a #FixOurDamnRoads Initiative like Colorado!

 

Fed up with bad roads or traffic jams in Lake County or your city while officials spend mega-millions on:

 

 - new buildings,

- splash parks,

- interest payments to pay for non-infrastructure projects,

- bike trails,

- brick roads,

- huge benefit increases including massive retiree benefits,

- employee raises costing more than the cost of living,

- staff time on private projects like Wellness Way,

- "lifestyle" projects,

- spending on downtown city projects more than road repairs,

- social welfare programs,

- free buses that lose money on every trip,

- police radios ($18-million),

- bureaucratic "required" studies,

- huge parks,

- trails,

- lawsuits,

- events and

- local charities?

 

 

Instead of cutting back on those, the Lake County Board (and cities) plan to hike your fuel taxes (it is coming). Everything else, it seems, is a priority over roads.

 

In Colorado, citizens have formed a tax rebellion movement called #FixOurDamnRoads" and collected over 150,000 signatures provided to the Secretary of State. They demand the roads be fixed WITHOUT ANY TAX INCREASES

 

Perhaps we need such a #FixOurDamnRoads program for Lake County. If you see a Lake Country traffic jam or bad road problems, take a picture and send it to me.
