Correspondent of the Day: Bad Roads Are Worse Than Taxes

Bad Roads Are Worse Than Taxes
Editor, Times-Dispatch: Some things are worse than taxes -- bad roads for one, and weak schools for another. The thing is though, fixing roads and improving schools can pay for themselves over time -- just like replacing your old water heater with a high efficiency model will soon pay for itself.

So please, raise my taxes, fix what's broken, and lets start making, or saving, some money.
