Yea, TN TAX money that SHOULD have been spent on the roads in Tennessee.
I drove big pipe truck all over Middle TN that past 2 years. 150 mile radius of Nashville. Drove 30k miles per year. The roads in Middle Tennessee are absolutely disgusting. Worst roads I've driven on since being in Pennsylvania back in the 1970s. NO EXCUSE for such shiittty unkept roads at all.

Heh, I experienced the same thing when I left Louisiana and moved to bama. Blew my mind when I saw the 55mph sign on a dirt road down there.
