What helped solidify the court's need for more public outreach?
The pothole outside Timothy Taylor's home was so deep, he could hear the clunk of cars hitting it from inside his house. The Portland, Oregon, resident could sympathize with those drivers: He knew to avoid his own neighborhood pothole, but another one damaged his car's suspension to the tune of $1,000.
