Editor:
It is my opinion that Measure O funds should be directed toward its primary intention, as described in the load of marketing materials I received from Humboldt County during the last election (“Election Results,” Nov. 6).
That marketing said while funds could be spent on anything, the breadth of it stated the goal was to repair roads. There was only one line about public transportation on each marketing piece received by me.
Now the county is having a debate about how to spend our money. One supervisor has said, “We have got a lot of money to work with.” Wow. The county and special districts should know that they can only go to the well so much. Please just start fixing and/or repairing the roads.

Every election we vote for funding that is “intended” for road repair. Every election. Yet we never see much road repair going on, and we continually hear complaining there is no money for the repairs. They just need to stop lying about the intention of these bills. And we, the voters, have to stop falling for these deceptive measures.
