Plenty of road work still going on in Santa Clara County all over the place, even today as I drove around in San Jose and Santa Clara.

Yeah, we’re getting something for it: we’re getting screwed.

What do you mean he isn’t giving it away to leeches and ill managed projects? He’s giving it away to the richest people in the nation who don’t need more than what they’ve got already ... trying to give it to a border wall that won’t stop illegals ...

... I can go on all night about leeches and ill-managed projects connected to Chump and his merry band of congressional and cabinet sycophants. ... or should I say ‘psychophants’?

I can't tell you how many times we've voted for funds to improve our roads. There is more than enough but our government chooses to spend it on other things that just make it worse for everyone.

Maybe you don't see CalTrans because most major road projects are contracted out to private companies?

I hope your kidding,because whenever I go to Nevada or Arizona their freeways seem to be in excellent condition or have they deteriorated since then

I don’t understand why these people allow their beautiful state to be turned into a 3rd world cesspool. I can’t figure out the end game for any of these middle or upper class liberals. What is it that they want that they never tell these crooks “No, stop taxing me “!!!!

Have you ever even been here? Or just felt like jumping on the bandwagon?

BTW saw workers installing brand new guardrail on Interstate 8 in east county. Not replacing damaged but brand new where their never was any. Much appreciated as it separates the freeway and Old Hwy 80.
