Several of the many construction projects underway across Illinois are extremely dangerous and no doubt many accidents have occurred as a direct result. Anyone killed or injured is just collateral damage in JB’s “keep the union boys happy” campaign. Unlicensed and undocumented drivers behind the wheel are no doubt part of the problem, but the number of major projects underway is unreal.
Interesting and thought-provoking take. So, IL having too-frequent road and highway construction projects to keep union workers eternally employed inherently creates too many dangerous and even life-threatening conditions. Therefore, to save lives, construct better (use better materials, methods, etc.) to lessen the frequency of do-over projects.
Downstate highway construction seems designed more for speed trap tickets than better roads or safety
Yo Adam how about some changes to the way truck drivers are certified, then again how many truck drivers are on the road illegally. Has anyone seen all the run down decrepit trucks on the road lately makes me wonder what the hell,is going on at are expense.
