I’ve become an expert in “raised asphalt.” It’s the term the City of Los Angeles uses for big bumps in the road. I know this term because for 4 months, I’ve been actively trying to get the asphalt repaired on a stretch of road that I take almost every day. The bump was so high it sent shock waves through my body each time my car crossed over it. It took more than a dozen phone calls to 3 different entities, including a member of the City Council. What finally pushed me across the finish line was a plea to the Mayor’s office, where I was put in touch with the “Infrastructure Supervisor.” Once I reached her, the repair was made in 3 days. #GovernmentWorks
