Road conditions are mostly in the hands of DOT. Last year
they increased car taxes and gas taxes to "fix the roads".
Noticeable results so far? Zero.


If you look at subsidiarity as Jay suggests I think you'll find your
county and township road departments maintain and plow and patch all the
not-incorporated roadways with various funding sources.

In some counties west of here, you can clearly see the township lines by
the road conditions after a snow while traveling on the same road.


Even in our residential neighborhood the trucks and crews are often from
the state DOT.

Those guys must have somehow lost the capability to operate a steam
roller because much of the newly laid asphalt is so wobbly that I try to
ride on the remnants of the old road surface if some is left open.
