In California they just put a cone on there or slop some asphalt
slurry in there, roll the truck across it a few times and call it a day.

"Your tax Dollars at work"

And it's a LOT of tax dollars to do paving.

Right, but they absolutely had to build a very costly nonsensical mural
next to Hwy 50 to make our village appear like El Dorado hills, which it
can never do. Then they shoo'd away Trader Joe's which would have gushed
beaucoup tax dollars into the local coffers. Tax dollars which now flow
into Folsom, from which they build bike paths and maintain road, which
consequently are in much better shape than ours.

Grocery stores are not big revenue generators because there is no sales
tax on food. With Trader Joe's there is revenue from alcohol sales,
carbonated beverages, and a few sundry items, but that's about it.

There are smart community leaders and then there are not so smart ones.


Cal Trans is not "shooing away" Trader Joes. The state is not making local land-use decisions. Take your complaints to the Cameron Park CSD Board of Directors.

Also, Trader Joes probably took one look at your community and decided it could make more money in a larger population area, e.g. Folsom -- maybe even pick-up customers from the outskirts of Sacto.

You complain about all the idiots in government, yet you do nothing. The first thing you could do is figure out which government deserves all your carping. Start with looking at local transportation funding. Get on the CSD Board. Make Cameron Park Great Again! SMS has at least made himself part of the "deep state" of Cupertino.
