A lot of that is out of sight like sewers and Water Systems and difficult to convince taxpayers they need to invest to maintain and modernize. Other elements like roads and bridges are more visibility, but very expensive to maintain and modernized.

Although some of our silver tongued critics over the years may have described toms views as a bleeding
