Before you get to the major split-lane retain over in the Union/Springfield area of Route 22 – it’s such a contentious drive.
People who do it regularly probably don’t give it much thought – but there has to be a reason for the congestion, as well as the God-awful road conditions.
We came up with a plausible theory the other day.
That the more potholes you see in an area is equally proportional to the number of corrupt local politicians.
Think about that for a moment.
The bad roads mean that less money is available because more money has been “skimmed” in one fashion or another from their intended sources.
Anyway – this beginning section of Route 22 is unpleasant for us. It gives Route 22 a bad name.
