Dodging potholes

The roads in Ely are bad on a good day. Since all of the snow that we've had this year, they have become even worse to drive on. The pot holes are huge and dodging them is impossible. Yesterday as I was taking Katie to school I witnessed the city filling in some of the potholes with sand. Even I know better than that. Filling a pot hole with sand might make it seem better for a week or two, but it's not going to fix the problem. I know that Ely gets some of the money from the states gaming, so why I am having to drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid pot holes, and why is the city filling them in with sand instead of asphalt? I guess I'll have to take it up with the city. Not my cup of tea, but I'm really irritated.
