Default Priorities

I have no problems in maintaining the roads and bridges. I do have a problem funnelling the money to improvements while the infrastructure is dangerous because of badly needed repairs and maintenance.

The representatives blames the whole mess on the economy and claims people aren't using the turnpikes because of the bottleneck. In reality the population in NH is declining and the demography is changing from families to retirees and empty nesters. We don't need wide roads and or high speed EZ-pass lines.

Revenue from the tolls have actually declined after taking out expenses. The numbers our representative shows you to defend EZ-Pass is before expenses were taken out. EZ-Pass company is very expensive and extremely profitable. Collecting taxes and fees should never be profitable.
