A national study classified the Ventura and Oxnard areas as having some of the worst roads in the nation. Drivers didn't need a study to tell them that. For Page One tomorrow, Staff writer Zeke Barlow (zbarlow@VenturaCountyStar.com) tells us about the results of the study, our reaction to roads and the solutions ... (hint: it has a little bit to do with more money).

We also are following up on federal legislation to budget for the demolition of Matillija Dam. Both the House and Senate have money in the budget to do the project. But they haven't taken the second step, which is to pass legislation to spend that money.

Off the wire, we will follow the nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court; watch Hurricane Emily, which hit the Mexican coast this morning; and see the latest on the British bombings.
