The City has a special road millage that generates about $13 million per
year, while the State provides about $9 million each year. I would
agree that if the State were to address the problem of inadequate road
funding rather than giving tax breaks to millionaires, we would have
more to spend on our roads. On the other hand, we have a very large
reserve fund that could be used to improve our city streets. There is
plenty of blame to go around. Blaming those who wish to place higher
priority on road maintenance seems odd, at best. |
