Maybe thats all they can contribute to this project but think about this for every 2 gallons of gas we buy we contribute almost a full dollar to the road dept. So for every $6.50 we spend they get $1. There is over 260k people in Mahoning county. Lets say out of an average day half of everyone bought $10 in gas, regular unleaded. Out of that there is 130k people contributing $1.50 towards roads. In total thats $195k dollars. So why the hell aren't there more road projects....where is my money going? Kirk by my house has holes big enough to bottom out full size trucks, New rd. is a total joke....plus plenty of other city roads that are horrible. I don't lend the poor roads to weather sure some of it is. Alot I think is poor engineering and rushing. You go to Cleveland, Akron, Kent, Pittsburgh or Columbus and their roads have one or two pot holes in a long stretch, our roads damn I lose count after 40ft or so.....sorry guys had to vents these roads are all bull$hit and I hate hearing its all just the weathers doing. Its poor engineering.

1) if they did that they wouldn't have an excuse to spend our tax dollars each year.
2) they need to do all the roads out of concrete then they wouldn't have this problem. I believe they do that in MI
