I am another one who has been told that the streets in my neighborhood would be redone by the mayor the year after the election, only to find out he does not know what he is talking about.

Once he was elected, I called to find out what the timing would be for them to start repairs and new streets, only to have him come back and say that our neighborhood was not even in the budget or on the list to be redone for some time.

If you want to see some streets that are in need of repair badly, look at the streets from 22nd to 28th and M to U street. Soon there will not be any streets left. The asphalt is cracked and coming apart. We have sink holes under the asphalt.

We have asked multiple times when, only to be lied to by the City. Our property values have gone down because of the way the City has let the streets fall apart.

Let’s build some more downtown or build more parks, so the mayor can say, “Look at what I have done.”

Auburn should have been taking care of business for years, and they would not have had this problem in so many areas of the City.

As far as me voting for you to repair streets that are driven mostly by people that don’t even live in Auburn, I don’t think so.
