$400 a year, per driver? Puh-leese!! I've driven hundreds of thousands of miles over the past 20+ years in a state that actually HAD potholes (Michigan) - My "damage" total? $0.00. Phoenix doesn't have a pothole problem and wouldn't even if they stopped "repairing" them for a couple of decades.

As long as the government can grow, legislate our lives and levy more taxes on us, we shouldn't worry about pesky little things like infrastructure, right?

How about a budget cut to Nitzels pay !

This State Government is trying to turn Arizona into looking like a 3rd world country like Indonesia and Malaysia. But, if they would stop stealing our tax dollars, and the WH hand out to our governor, they would find the money to fix pot holes. Has anybody noticed "open house" and "grand opening" flags around the city lately? They are oddly shaped not like normal flags, these stick up straight with kind of a triangular fabric that comes to a point on top, in various solid colors, well these are direct copies of flags used in those third world countries, I have been there and observed that style of advertizing flag. Remember last year the stupid alert on a rice shortage when the media warned us before it runs out....that was insane! Like we depend on rice as a stable? Yet, they find money stashed away only to dish out free services to illegal invaders and support special funding projects that suit themselves in pursuit of their own interests. Do we have too many indonesian muslims influencing our state government indirectly? In the midst of the investigation into the Ft. Hood terror attack, Muslim Obama chooses to go abroad to Indonesia where he grew up....to see whom? To make what deals? Is he carrying more billions of dollars to the Muslims again?

Good thing motorists pay for those roads, or else we would have another burden for the public to shoulder.

might be easier to let all the roads turn into dirt tracks and that way horse riders could enjoy the area and ride down to the local watering hole.

As long as those potholes don't get wider than 4 feet, I can get across 'em. Bring it on!

NO FUNDS? OMG!!! How will we get by with all those days of 2-3 feet of snow on the roads and the salt eating them away at a 1/4 mile a day? I truly wished the thieving government would quit lieing and trying to scare everyone. Everytime they fart, they dream up a new idea to steal more taxes from us. Plug your holes polititions, we're tierd of giving our blood, sweat and tears with nightmares to you. If your votes EVER meant anything at all, they mean everything NOW. Get these cockroaches OUT OF OFFICE AND GIVE US TRUE AMERICANS, NOT SOCIALIST AND MARXIST.

Good, cut the budget some more, potholes don't bother me. When are we going to see cuts in government salaries? USA sucks.
