But at least now you'll be able to keep track of where all the potholes are on your smartphone!
They always tell you to call 311 but those people are too stupid to get the info to the right dept. the management over there is a 1000% at fault for their ignorance, plus, sLIE wants his money spent on his priorities like downtown, hotels, airport and toy train, everybody else is screwed
ReplyDeleteHow is a camera gonna fix a pothole? Why waste money there when it could be spent fixing the holes
