People pay far more than that for road repair. If the money is being misused you should direct your complaints there.

I love Don Knotts. I'll send a check to contribute to a statute for this great man.

Not surprised that the Hollywood "elite" have failed to deliver here.

Most of the road repair issues are a function of state government. I'm sure they would gladly take your donation though, and probably throw it away some place else. This statue cause is a different matter,
and Knotts was a great, 5 time Emmy winning actor. He fully deserves the recognition.

There isn't really a discussion to be had. The state steals from some areas and gives to other areas and nothing is being done. What is there to discuss?

Whatever. Good, then every thread doesn't need to devolve into the same non-discussion.
