This has undoubtedly been a bad winter on our roads, which has taken a poor condition and made it worse. The Federal Highway Administration says that every $1 million dollars spent on our infrastructure equates to 42 jobs. Our legislators are looking to cut spending and stimulate a stalled economy. Doesn’t it make sense to invest in our already deteriorating infrastructure, creating more jobs in the process?
What better way to stimulate a stalled economy than to invest in our infrastructure, killing two birds with one stone? An investment in Maine’s roads is an investment in Maine’s people.
