Government can not be trusted with the truth, even on little things.
In this case the city of San Diego claimed to fill potholes in 72 hours of notification. That is a lie.
The problem is that you can never believe government. We know that the State used a report written by a fraud, to give us AB 32 regulations--even after they knew the author of the report was a complete fraud, with no credentials.
"The Street Division calculates its response time based on a number of factors that don't end up reflecting the common interpretation of the word "repaired." In some cases, the division considers a pothole to be repaired even though no work has been completed on the site. It also uses a set of data that makes the division appear faster than reality. The result is a performance measure that misleads residents and their City Council representatives."
Fraud is fraud and government is the definition of fraud. If they can not tell the truth about potholes, why expect it to tell the truth about schools, health care or the environment?
Will anyone be fired over this? No. But, someone might be promoted.
