Poor road conditions in the region can cause more than just aggravation.
Crumbling asphalt and potholes often cause both gradual and abrupt damage to cars.
An Arizona lawmaker wants to make county governments atone for the sinfully bad roads by making them pay, almost without question, any claim received from motorists who say pavement conditions caused damage to their cars.
“If Pima County was spending more money on fixing potholes than on other things, they probably wouldn’t ever have seen legislation like this cross my desk,” said Mark Finchem, R-Oro Valley.
