Road work- I live in the county near Pioneer and Elks Club. Is this typical snow removal by the county? Two weeks ago when we had maybe 2″ of snow, the plow came by twice with in hours of snow on the ground. Now we have over 12″ and we haven’t seen the plow yet! But once again I saw that county pick up truck driving around with 2 people in it wasting time and gas and doing nothing productive. We need new management at the county road department. To many long time employees doing the bare minimun, collecting a pay check at our expense. Get rid of them.
I thought it was suppose to be 20k/tree, so 100k?
