I over-heard a guy talking about being stopping by the Bloomington Police last night – suspected of drunk driving. He was on his way home from work around 11:00 pm on the west side.
He was pulled over by one officer and another arrived as backup. After a license and registration check, the officer asked if he’d been drinking because he was weaving.
The driver reported he was dodging potholes. The officer then gave him a VERBAL warning to NOT cross the center line.
$10,000,000 was spent last year on roads – borrowed money. How much is the road budget for this year? Citizens find out next week. Meanwhile, don’t cross the center line dodging craters.
No joke about dodging potholes.
I picked up a friend this week at the Chateau on Rust Rd. just behind State Farm corp. and what a mess that street is in with holes all over.
Try west Washington street near where Funks Seed Co. used to be.
I want to know who the retard is who decided to put manhole’s where vehicle traffic drives over it. No telling how many of those have to be reset.
LOL…I wondered the same thing a while back after driving over three of them in 10 seconds (the stretch on Oakland in front of Jewel).
Well look a RINO has some more explaining to do.

Veteran’s Parkway is deplorable. It’s like being in a 15ft. skip in the middle of the Atlantic on a choppy day. Less populated states, less people to pay taxes all around us have better roads.
I think that’s a State road, of course they are bankrupt.
Speaking of a bankrupt state, before noon on this last Tuesday, there were three IDOT dump trucks, one backhoe, and a supervisor’s pickup truck parked on the south side of the road on west Rte 9 just east of the Covell Rd. stoplight. Orange lane closure/flagman ahead signs had been erected in both directions. Driving by an hour later, the backhoe was in a work position and the dump trucks were staged. Driving by later that night, there was no sign of any work done, confirmed by the light of the next day. Was all this equipment and crew kept busy for the day waiting for the ground to thaw or what? The trucks were without snowplows, so they had taken the extra time to remove them. Was this an exercise in make-work diversion from the boredom of pushing snow?
Another instance of government waste/mismanagement.
Limited government anyone?
Hahaha! That happened to my brother-in-law in Normal a couple of years ago. Then, they asked if they could search his car. He politely declined.
