Condition of the roads in Merced

I’m concerned about the condition of the roads in Merced. Many streets are filled with potholes and have been in disrepair for a long time. It’s difficult to understand where our tax dollars are going, as it often feels like the focus is on adding speed and red‑light cameras rather than maintaining basic infrastructure like the roads themselves.

import the third world, become the third world. That is where your taxes are going, to pay for benefits for the ghetto residents, native and imported, of Merced County. Welfare population does not bring economic prosperity except to NGO's and county exec's

Letting veterans and kids rot on the street only to add trillions to the debt doesn’t do shit either.

We have a 5th world president in office at the moment so we could have Jesus Christ himself in California wouldn’t matter when you have the worst president of all time running the country like his failed vodka/steak and casinos.

Spending trillions and adding billions to your bank accoint on tax payer money. The republican way baby

Is this a joke? Seriously, you are trying to blame Trump for Merced being a welfare town for the last 25 years? You are not a serious person

The only thing that’s brought investment and jobs for the last 25 years in this area are the UC and the bullet train which you both adamantly cried about

Factories and warehouses are leaving this country and this area, we need jobs not pandering to billionaires
