To the Editor,
There has not been a bigger waste of our taxpayer money than on eastbound U.S. 22 and some local repaving of roads in the Weirton area.
New guardrails were installed when nothing was wrong with the old ones. More concrete poured when any other time we got simple repaving. And what has changed in our community? More people now can leave faster going to work in Pennsylvania than in our own town.
Every road in Weirton in the last few years was repaired but one, in front of the city building and police headquarters is a joke to say the least.
Still, we have congestion from the railroad and traffic back-ups when a repaired Lee Avenue bridge should have been a number one job in our town. All the money wasted on 22 to Pittsburgh could have built us a bridge the 45th president would have loved to be driven on. Democrats sure like throwing cash around in all the wrong places as usual. Enjoy the new concrete.
