City of Cambridge residents passed a levy some 8 years ago that would provide funding to re-pave every street and alley every 10 years. Flash forward to 2010 and the Mayor (Tom Orr) has redirected those funds to the revitalization of the decaying downtown. The redirecting of funds has done two things:

1. Made the downtown merchants nothing more than corporate welfare leaches sucking on the public funds.

2. Led to the inevitable, the streets are falling apart again.
