What about roads now?

Greg Dunn has managed to make himself quite a reputation at the state level. A good one. He figured out how to get road money for the county and how to work the system to keep it. He hasn't gotten much credit. Eric Maxwell kept talking about all the traffic saying something like growth can't be down, just look at the traffic. Talk about lawyer-speak. Of course traffic is worse. More people are coming into the county to shop because the CITIES have allowed all kinds of shopping magnets. Of course traffic is worse. The CITIES have increased density and annexed tons of county land.

The fact is that growth is DOWN in the unincorporated county.

The county (in particular Greg Dunn) has fought to get road money so that roads could be improved.

Geez louise. It doesn't take much sense to figure out where the traffic is coming from. It ain't from the unincorporated county.

Is there anyone on the upcoming new board of commissioners whos going to be able to go downtown and keep the government types from taking away the money thats in the state plans? Herb Frady? Robert Horgan? Eric Maxwell? Peter Pfeifer? Linda Wells or Jack Smith? They all have full-time jobs except Herb and he can't remember how he voted from one time to the next.

Who's going to get us our road money now? Who's going to stop the powers-that-disperse from taking "our" money and giving it to whoever yells the loudest from some other county? Dunn managed to make Fayette County a player at the big table for the first time in history.
