If you’re frustrated with road conditions, please watch this.

If this was not purely political, then a better way would be to do a sales tax holiday. Gas tax directly funds roads. Roads are the single biggest complaint at the local level.

Lexington driver Colton Townsend said rising gas prices have forced him to make tough choices. Townsend said he has started riding his bike to cut down on fuel costs.

Most of the calls I get concern State roads. The gas tax is what State and local governments use to maintain roads. If you have a concern for the roads you travel, I suggest contacting the Governor’s office 1-502-564-2611.
