As if they would spend that money on potholes. And Isreal funds are federal while road repair are city/municipal/state for most part so there is that too. They have the right spirit but potholes are permanent
But a significant portion of funds are often allocated at the state or federal level from various grants. There’s nothing stopping the federal government from setting up a “fix potholes” grant - if there was a proper infrastructure bill, this would a part of it. Of course, the incentive structures that dominate modern decision making at the upper levels will never see it hair without major changes.
