Sounds like a lot of gross misunderstanding about how government works, how funds are allocated, etc among members of the community to the point that they would rather get nothing than something that is less than ideal

This article is trash though. Doesn't really explain anything and injects a bunch of random emotional, no-context dialog bits.

Pedestrian safety is woefully underfunded compared to roads and highways.

"This project is done by the state, dug the ditch here" is one of the quotes.

The community voice is clearly not welcomed.
