A 2018 survey noted that two thirds of the city’s streets were in poor condition or worse. And years later, nothing has changed except more degradation.Recently, legislators were patting themselves on the back for receiving top rankings from the American Legislative Exchange Council for sixteen years running. ALEC must not take into account our last-in-the-nation per-pupil spending or our horrific road conditions.
