Stop wasting money on studies, pet projects, things at this time WE DO NOT NEED. What good is a proposed sports complex (that just had the Normal Illinois town council vote in favor of giving a company $47,000 in tax payers $ for a "study") if the roads continue to damage our vehicle's taking more $$$ out of our already tapped wallets. Most will not be able to afford to attend, can we say US Cellular Coliseum (renamed Grossinger Arena). These terrible roads are costing the tax payers of Illinois MILLIONS of dollars for new tires, rims, alignment.
Why is this important?
Our roads are destroying peoples vehicle's. Every $ spent on studies, pet projects, even government vehicle's damaged by the roads is costing we the tax payers more and more. Gas tax hikes meant for road repair has not been put to that use and now our "ELECTED OFFICIALS" are again talking about raising the gas tax. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH--stop overspending, wasted spending, not using the tax collected for these projects FOR WHAT IT WAS INTENDED FOR. Illinois is starting to look like a third world country. If I was an elected official in Bloomington, Normal, McLean County or Illinois I would be embarrassed to have any out of town visitors to see how bad our roads are.
