Yep, our less than wise Governor takes the federal road dollars that he gets, puts them in the bank and brags about the surplus while motorist like the OP avoids our state like the plague rather than come back.
The stretch of I70 near my home town, mile marks 149 to 156 will literally destroy an automobile. Car parts, wheels tire scraps are strewn all along this stretch. Major crashes causing complete shutdown are a weekly occurrence from people losing control from swerving to miss a hole or losing a wheel.
They are finally doing repair work on this stretch but only at night so I really question the quality of repairs done in the dark.
