Vote for road upkeep

Georgia Perez of Denver writes:

While letter writer Joe Gallegos should be applauded for bringing a maintenance need to the attention of Rocky readers (“Fix roads first, mayor” Aug. 24), the reality is that street repair is a key component to the bond package being presented to Denver voters in November.
By being smart about how we go about maintenance and doing it in a fiscally responsible manner, we’re all better off. Issue 1A provides for this by setting up a fund for deferred maintenance instead of going to the taxpayers every time a pothole appears. I am sure Gallegos will agree, based on his letter, and join me in voting yes on 1A.

READER COMMENTS

Every time the city or state mismanages the funds we as tax payers give them. They roll out a new plan and tax hike that they will steal from. How many times must we dip into our pockets? It is high time we hold these tax and spend inappropriately officials feet to the fire. We must demand that they curb thier welfare programs and take care of buisness that they are elected to do.
