Lady Raider Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I have a question. why is it so hard to get the county to pave a dirt road? ir makes more sense to go ahead and pave the road instead of the county having to come out 10-12 times a year more if we have a lot of rain, Because each time they come out, they have to scrape the road, then haul gravel in.. so wouldn;t it be cheaper to pave the road instead of the county coming out as many times as listed above, with their heavy equipment and loads of gravel?

I agree. Aren't they spending more in the long run keeping gravel on them? Link to post Share on other sites

Lady Raider Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Oh Hush LOL I think LPPT posted that they had problems but they should be working by now... oh and if by chance he answers my question someone will have to let me know what he says. since I live on public dirt road (that is used by the county school busses, and postal truck,) but yet we can not get the road paved, or cable, or water ran on this road.. I can not view the interview, I am still on dial up... so someone let me know what he says Link to post Share on other sites

ihaveadog Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Isn't the cost to pave a road something like $500k or more per mile? Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Raider Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 LOL Millie this is not Mayberry no more LOL Thanks for posting the answer LPPT Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Raider Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Paving a road to make it easier on school busses, and postal service and not to mention the people who live on the road, has to be cheaper then coming out as much as the DOT does with this road. How much does it cost to pave all these parking lots that are now sitting empty because of the stores going out of bussiness? HOw much did it cost to pave that new airport ?

FreeBird Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'm thinking the new airport was poured, not paved, and remember that the federal gub-ment paid for most of it. Link to post Share on other sites

Really, he announced it that he changed his name to Jerry Who? during the video pubby I have to wonder why Jerry had the foresight to recommend a hiring freeze and he had the foresight to be able to tell the small-time builders that they should slow down but around that same time he was pushing for a school bond like the growth would never stop.

FreeBird Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Seems like the video started while the interview was already in progress. Did Jerry speak about fire station 11 and why it was stonewalled all last year? Did Jerry mention what he is doing now? An interesting report - thanks for setting it up.

Yes freebird, we talked about that briefly in an earlier session, the recording of which was lost. (We're still figuring the realities regarding the Ustream product._). What he said is that he felt there was a deal with all the members on the commission and they decided to do different priorities first on that basis. The 'deal' ... gentlemen's agreement lets say ... fell through and Jerry said he regretted not doing some of these things earlier in the year and that was one of the specifics. He did decline to say who supposedly reneged. pubby Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone that is that concerned about a fire station, should buy in a part of the county that HAS a fire station? Link to post Share on other sites

Already this term they have approved this contract with a considerable savings to the taxpayers. This is what all 5 commissioners were voted in to do. Provide services to the taxpayers with honesty, openness and accountability. Link to post Share on other sites
