Biden already raised it a dollar, and it's going to get a lot worse!

We have a MODOT traffic engineer in my hometown here who is an absolute rude, arrogant know-it-all piece of garbage that think timing stoplights is some kind of rocket science and doesn't care about the values of the local community. And he is a graduate of UM Columbia which is a disgraced school.

MODOT has NEVER shown me that they are a good stewards of the money they get. The always come back wanting more and the roads still get worse. I see so much of the work being done on mowing along the roads INSTEAD OF fixing THE ROADS. MODOT IS A MONEY PIT. USELESS.

I've had nothing but bad experiences with their "Traffic engineers" in my hometown. We have one I have complained to several times who is an absolute know-it-all jerk. He even harasses people who disagree with him. Bunches of us around here are trying to get his college degree and license revoked.

The last attempt to raise the gas tax, less than half was going to the roads, the rest was going to go to the Highway Patrol. What we need is Truth in Advertising, and responsible spending.
