Indiana Interstate 94 is falling apart thanks to our republican Governor!
Driving my 18 wheeler the other day and I hit one of these pothole craters. The impact with the pothole threw my rig half way over into the next lane. Thank god no one was driving next to me, it could have been ugly. Now my front end alignment is all out of whack. The other day a little lady hit one and it flipped over her car. After that accident the state police ordered lane closures in both directions and patch work done.




Anyone with damage to their vehicles as a result of potholes in that area is encouraged to contact the Indiana Department of Transportation at (317) 232-5790 to obtain a tort claim form.

1. their "PLAN" is neglect till something has to be done, say they cant raise taxes, then sell the
the whole highway system, privatize it because business can do it better and cheaper.

that is the plan, that is how they work, it is their party platform.

soon the poor will have to be all located in ghetto's near their appointed slave labor jobs.. no way to travel.

the area i am most stunned by is ...

"While I was there, I met Gloria. Gloria worked 11 hours a day, six days a week, for the privilege of living in a one-room corrugated metal shack, with one exposed light bulb and no running water—except during the four-month rainy season, when the house regularly is flooded. She worked at the Korean-owned textile plant just down the dirt road, but had no one to take care of her four children until she returned home at 6 p.m. or 7 p.m. Public schools in Guatemala close in the early afternoon each day.

Gloria was allowed only one bathroom break during the entire workday—and frequently her paycheck did not include overtime or bonus pay for exceeding work quotas. She made the equivalent of $78 every two weeks and scrimped on water, which she purchased by the barrel at roughly $1.50 per day—more than one-fourth of her wages.

Alioto, the shanty town where Gloria built her home with her own hands, sprawls for miles, thousands of tin and wood shacks tumbling over each other and stretching up the side of the hill across dusty, treeless land. Tens of thousands of people migrated there from rural areas in search of work at maquila plants. Now, even these modern sweatshops are closing throughout Latin America, in search for ever-cheaper labor and higher profit in places like China and Bangladesh."

it will be like this for us, if we don't stop them, why is this just getting out.??
