As a dedicated lifelong "Lefty Commie Pinko" I am never opposed to raising taxes for all sorts of things (LOL) But spending tons on money on trying to fight off Mother Nature is a waste of money.
If you build roads where there is water flowing under the landscape, you are going to get frost heaves in those roads. Until the Hover Craft become the main mode of personal transportation, the Rocks Come with the Farm.
While I feel bad for the gentleman with a problem driving the roads and feeling the pain from potholes, poring money into the problem will simply not solve the problem. It's like putting a few dozen politicians in jail for corruption, new one will take their place in a millisecond!
