State Rep. Dean Takko is trying to steer a little more money into pothole-fixes and sidewalk repairs for small cities. Co-sponsors include local Rep. Steve Hailey, R-Mesa.

Takko's HB 1482, unanimously approved by the House on Wednesday, would double a small fund set up to help small towns pay for road repairs. Takko's proposal would increase the cash to $4 million over the next two years, and add another $1 million every couple of years after that.
