Pot holes

I dont know if this has been discussed yet
I 80 east bound from Council Bluffs is absolutely full of them. We have been using HWY 92 to get to Council Bluffs. It is far better. Passing thru Carson Ia now,watch out for the darn deer. Not as bad as around home but they gots plenty too.

Have you ever been to Pennsylvania?   Then we can discuss potholes!  For the guys that live here, you know what I mean.

I have some tenants whining about them but my driveways are better than many streets I've been on. Of course they have to drive 40 MPH down drives that have 10 MPH posted.

Here in the big city they have a web site to report potholes. Seems that if no one reported the pothole and you break a wheel or blow a tire they are not responsible but if it has been reported they high tail it there to patch it. I take the camera and get a picture then report it. 2 days later it is fixed. Few snow plows here so they stay fixed longer with the cold patch junk.

Hey in our area there is a rumor they are stocking them with fish! 

The West Virginia toll road is a good place to dodge them also

Naw, that's to put up signs with arrows pointing to the pot holes.

seems here, they puts a tax on us for fixing something, then forgot why they taxed us, and then spends the tax money on stupid chit, then the next election they start all over again!

From what I have been told that new gas tax here in Michigan will be on all gas which means that off road fuel will be taxed the same as road fuel. This means that farm users, lawn mowers, and etc will also pay this great new tax.

city of Omaha...put a wheel tax on everyones vehicles that live in the city! every regular car gets the tax on 5 wheels. yes, they tax the spare tire too. and every motorcycle gets taxed on 3 wheels...in case every motorcycle ads a side car. they tried to get the tax on every vehicle of all surrounding counties because some of them use the streets in their city! that didn't fly. now they are trying to annex a city in a neighboring county so they can get more tax money, that's not over yet. they had to build this big convention center, and now that it's built, they can't even pay the interest on it not alone pay the debt down. the whole reason for road tax when implemented in our state was to keep the roads up. seems that tax money has gone elsewhere. like the cig tax, had to go build a convention center in the capitol city and also pay to keep up the state fair grounds. the fair grounds got so bad they moved it to another city...all brand new, but none of the cost came from the cig taxes cuz there wasn't any of that money left after spending it on other stuff we really didn't need! I could go on and on just like ya'll can too. heaven help us if there could be any money left over to pass into the next year!

Michigan"s new Governor campaigned on "Fix the damn roads" and presto how the roads will be fixed is 45 cents a gallon more tax! We all ready had a tax increase on fuel along with 6 % sales tax. The problem is the salt they dump on the roads keeps them freezing and thawing but MDOT and local Road Commissions have to to keep drivers from killing each other! Every one is in a hurry and no one is at fault if they have an accident just ask their Attorney !  What many do not realize is the 45 cent tax increase goes for is "STATE ROADS" not County and Local Roads ! Those are on their own or what trickles down. What I would like to see is 2 cents more on Sales Tax with a dedication to Road Repair. That way everyone pays Electric Cars, Tourists. We have to rethink how we maintain roads in the winter or 2 cent sales tax or 45 cents will be for nothing! Adding 45 cents per gallon of fuel would make Michigan the highest in the Nation and the Governor is not done as she thinks Education and the Environment need more money! The last woman Governor Jenifer Granholm Michigan had ran jobs out of the State as fast as she could! Indiana welcomed the businesses that fled across the border! 

Here in PA, we are the leader with I believe it is 77 cents per gallon in the US, plus or minus a few small numbers. 

Potholes are caused by the expansion and contraction of ground water after the water has entered into the ground under the pavement. It should be repaired as early as possible to reduce the difficulties arise due to potholes. I heard about the Blacktop Companies Long Island, which take the contract of pothole repair.
