*snort* 

To me there are some pieces which shouldn't have been torn up in the first 
place.  I'm thinking of the piece of I-90 from 53 to Roselle Rd at least.
They put in a new ramp, new exit lane, and moved the toll plaze just last year
didn't they?  It was just fine!  Now they've gone and torn it up and the 
patches they've put in are lousy!

To me, they're just making up busy work in order to show that they need to 
raise the tolls to 75 cents.  

I also thought asphalt roads are supposed to last 20 years - not one year.
I think we need more honest contractors and less cronyism.

I think they should not charge toll money for when the toll roads are 
all torn up - like that'll happen.  It's bad enough the traffic backs up to 
infinity for the tolls to begin with.
