Use federal money to repair rough rural roads, says Ogdensburg man

To the Editor:

Our so-called Gov. Cuomo, the know it all, that gave us the illegal and unconstitutional SAFE Act is supposed to be giving $100 million to improve St. Lawrence County and local town roads.

This is most likely an election year: look what I did gift.

At the same time the federal highway improvement fund is wasting $3.3 million on milling grooving 475 miles of rural road.

Does it make any sense to cut up roads you just spend $100 million to repair? Why not use the $3.3 million to repair more miles of rough road?

This sounds like the usual federal grant, throwing money they don't have at a non-existing problem.
