My plan is to do what I've always done - avoid potholes and avoid a few roads that are really bad. Keep tires inflated and replace when worn, not when I run out of "donut" spares to put on like so many in this area. A replacement steel rim for most cars with reasonable wheels and tires is $100 or less and far cheaper than an extra $500 on my taxes every year for this bullshit. If you MUST have a $2000 set of rims on your car, buy insurance for the damned things.
I've never broken any part of any car because of our roads in 40 years and I put above average miles per year on my car. If they want money to fix the roads I want to know exactly what the projects are, how much they cost and when they will be done. Don't show me crying people worrying about their 16 year old kids [[who frankly are more of a menace than any pothole by the way) and telling me we need to write a blank check or we'll all die.
Send patching and and repair crews to fix the worst spots [[they are already on the payroll) and come up with a real plan to address bad roads. I am NOT against paying money for good roads but scaring everyone with stupid commercials and lies is not the way to get it done.
