$$ wasted on Route 42

The NH Register (by Luther Turmelle) ran an article yesterday on the Rte 42 repaving project (Local section, p. 2) . The article mentions that nearby residents are upset about parts of the project. The reason is that a stretch of N. Brooksvale is being repaved... and it's the same stretch that was repaved fewer than four years ago and is slated to be completely reconstructed within two years. Hence... why spend the money on repaving that stretch now?

Some of Rte 42 is appropriately being repaved right now. But a significant stretch (probably more than 500 feet, out of more than a mile) is being unnecessarily repaved. It's just another example of our wasted tax dollars.

Perhaps we can hire Mr. Amorello to run CTDOT. He has lots of experience with large capital projects in Massachusetts
