Maybe it's one of those. Or maybe that's just a cover story for the real embarrassment exposed in a letter to the editor of the Telegram & Gazette: our rest areas!
Our state tax dollars are going to publish the governor's presidential campaign speeches on the state's web site, for one.My husband, I and two friends went to Maine to our trailer. On our way home, we needed to stop at the Massachusetts rest area. As we proceeded to go inside, my friend and I couldn't believe the unsanitary, deplorable condition it was in. As we entered, we walked into water covering the whole interior of the floor because of a blocked, overflowed toilet. There was paper all over the floor and hardly any toilet paper in the dispensers, no soap, and the hand dryers were not working very well....
I was honestly ashamed to tell anyone that we were from Massachusetts.
Shouldn't these facilities be somewhat of a priority? Visitors from other states must feel the same way when they use these rest areas. It doesn't leave a very good impression. Where are our state tax dollars going?
