Have you done any travel out of the state of MA this summer? We are lucky to only have a few roads under construction this summer. Why? Franklin continues to save money and avoid repairs until government funding becomes available because Franklin taxpayers can't find a way to pay for their own road repair.
Oh and this is government funding (capital and road improvement grants) that would not have been available for operational expenses like teachers or police dispatchers.
