trust me, the reports that our roads and bridges in MA are amongst if not the worst in the country are valid. something needs to be done. you'd be amazed what some of our structures look like up close.

Again the sins of the father being paid by the sons and daughters. Our state cut road improvements for 30 years. Now we have the big dig debt and a massive catchup cost on infrastructure.
I just don't believe taxing in a down way down economy is the way to get us out of the downward spiral.
