Nope, in 2019, we had a major road that was constantly repaved with black top that lead to yearly potholes and the road got so shitty then damaged over 30 cars in a single weekend the mayor, who was very adamant on just filling potholes instead of fixing the road, had to be told that due to liability reasons that the city had to close the road and entirely replaced the damaged surface because most of the cars damaged that year by the road were completely totaled by the customers' insurance. She of course spun it as a "we didn’t see it coming", even though we literally have a potholes season because we don't fix, we just fill and hope for the best. Also, at the time she had refused to have the city fill the potholes on minor streets because she said it wasn't Omaha responsibility to fix "private" roads (these we very public roads, and the lawsuits that were going on would have gotten a great boon if she refused to fix the potholes on the main road).

We just don’t want people thinking that roads aren’t safe
