    Things like this just give citizens and even larger disconnect from their government. $400,000 is a life-changing monumental amount of money that most people in this area will never see in their savings account at one time. Citizens are riddled with issues such as bad traffic and public infrastructure; so when they see something like this get created it just destroys the hope that our government will put OUR money in the right place.
    I understand public art budgets have no correlation with infrastructure budgets. But most people don’t understand this; and at the end of the day, it is insulting when cars tires are getting blown up constantly via potholes and we cant even focus our finances on that.
