The Columbus Dispatch

Driver appalled by condition of roadways locally, across the state

-

I travel our Columbus city streets and Ohio state roads every week. Never in my 60 years of living in Ohio and Columbus have I seen such filthy, unmowed, weed-infested and unmaintain­ed roadways.

Heads should roll for allowing Columbus and areas of Ohio to look so bad. It is disgusting and a very real blight not only on the capital of Ohio but also around our state.

Both Gov. Mike Dewine and Mayor Andrew J. Ginther should be held accountabl­e for allowing this to happen. Yesterday I drove from Powell to New Albany, then on to John Glenn Internatio­nal Airport. The amount of trash along the roads was unbelievab­le.

Why is this happening and what is being done to correct it? It is a disgrace! Scott Fankhauser, Powell
