The emperor Gov Kaine is too busy trying to build his resume on the backs of taxpayers. Kaine wants to create new government programs instead of fixing the roads. Gov Kaine wanted to spend 600-700 million on new preschool programs instead of maintaining roads. These politicians have their heads stuck you know where and the minions and sheeple march to the orders of both political parties. Until the voting public wakes up we are all screwed. Based on the messiah’s town hall meetings nothing is going to change.
Do the people who run VDOT drive the same roads? THE ROADS ARE IN HORRIBLE SHAPE!
How about cutting the fat from some special programs, and actually FIX something that needs FIXING! Studying the mating habits of cardinals might be nice… if yer a cardinal, but EVERYONE drives these roads, and complains!
