Agree completely. As you probably guessed I'm slightly libertarian in thinking when it comes to govt. The means & resources already exist to fix many of the existing problems. Provide money for local jurisdictions to make improvements as needed. Start with the obvious low-hanging fruit by maintaining roads that are badly in need of repair. Spending tax money as it was intended on infrastructure and fix & improve problem areas first.
Yeah we used to leave school at 3 to hit OCIR on Wed. nights we could make it in 20 minutes from Anaheim without even speeding!
