More Cook County waste

Leave it to America's worst governmental body, Cook County, Illinois, to find a unique manner in which to waste taxpayer money. This time, it's blowing $120,000 on sign to let pothole dodging motorists like myself know that the county is "maintaining" these roads.

UPDATE February 13: The Chicago Tribune reported yesterday that the county is dropping the wasteful sign program.
