Talk Back: Where is the Worst Pothole?

Lately the Patch vehicle and its shock absorbers is taking a beating and it got us wondering.

There are two semi-potholes that Patch tries to avoid like the plague. The dip in the southbound lane on Railroad Avenue, just north of the Main Street intersection in Sayville, and a huge road indentation that's somewhere along the westbound lane of Montauk Highway just around the Hess station. Sometimes Patch gets lucky and can avoid the horrid thud sound, other times not so much.

What roadway pothole or pavement annoyance is your top peeve? Tell us in the comments and we'll compile a list of 'roadway issues' to avoid next week.

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
