Issue Position: Roads and Transportation

Issue Position

The State is the one entity that has the most ability to impact our infrastructure, namely our roads. It seems that Augusta has forgotten that it is the responsibility of the State of Maine to maintain roads that can be safely traveled on, bridges that are safe, highways that can transport goods and services in and out of the State of Maine. Spending on highways doesn't seem to satisfy a voting constituency for many…they take those roads for granted, until they completely fall apart. We need to invest in our roads and bridges to help our economy grow and to help Mainers effectively travel to their jobs, transport goods and services, and for basic living needs.
