Yet again, for the second time in under six months, my car and I have fallen victim to a gaping pothole, both times on Forest Park between Security Boulevard and Garrison. I begin to wonder if the city of Baltimore does not have an agreement with tire repair shops for a kickback when residents have to repeatedly get tires replaced due to shoddy maintenance on the roads. Apparently, the city has plenty of funds to pour into speed and red light cameras. How about funneling some of the fines back to the taxpayers and fix the roads? As a single parent, a widow, raising two children, including a teen in college, part of the "working class poor" (I work part time at a just over minimum wage position), I can't afford this!
