Kern COG Poll
The Kern region will get $15 million in transportation stimulus funds. What do you think?
That'll get people working again.
None of it's for capital projects. It shouldn't all go for repaving roads.
That's a lot of potholes. Sounds good to me.
It's going to take more than $15 million for roads to get Kern's economy running again
I hope they actually spend it on the roads and not something else.
