Crappy Highways

Aggravation comes over me when I drive on the stretch of highway between Wilmington to Chicago. UGGGH the money we pay in taxes goes to what I ask? My poor car as it hits every pothole and crevice. It makes me cringe with every bump. I have blown out a tire on a pothole once and of course I had to pay for the replacement, as if that was my fault. Other states have very nice highways and well kept sideways to match. What keeps Illinois from keeping up with the road work that is so highly needed? Currently a patch work is being done on 55 that is taking days to dry as it was filled with concrete and the weather is not allowing that to dry well. I hate crappy highways !!!!! There are other things that aggravate me to no end but I will save that list and rant for another day.
