2018 AL Governor's race: on Technology


Walt Maddox: Crumbling infrastructure threatens safety and job growth

Our roads and bridges are crumbling. Alabama has nearly 102K miles of public roadways, and yet so many are deficient with nearly 50% rated as fair, poor, or very poor. Unsafe roadways contribute to one-third of traffic deaths. There are 16,000 bridges in Alabama and more than 20% are either structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. When our roadways and bridges are not safe, Alabamians are not safe, and new jobs will not come because they can't pass along our roads to develop the industry.

Bill Hightower: 10-year plan for infrastructure

I want to develop a road, bridge and waterway commission. Might even make it broadband. Tomorrow is broadband. And we have the fourth-most navigable waters in the nation. What I want to do is put a commission together that develops a 10-year plan, and sticks to it, and therefore take the politicization of the roadbuilding process out. I also benefit my road and bridge builders, and waterway maintenance and broadband because they'll be able to maintain a workforce.
