Worried that Nebraska's road work is chosen based on political pressure? Well worry no more.
A State Panel concludes Nebraska's road and bridge projects are chosen based on need , not politics.
The Legislature's Performance Audit Committee says that most projects are chosen by a needs based data driven analysis.
Former Roads Director Monty Fredrickson says 90% of these projects during his 20 years working were picked based on need.
Fredrickson says he can't remember any time an elected official pressured him to chose a certain project.
The other 10 % of projects were based on unpredictable factors like available funding and public support for a project.
