I know this is an ongoing complaint but my gosh, the roads out in the county are horrible!!!! The brush is taking over both sides of the roads, down to one lane in most places and the potholes are big enough to get lost in!!! Where is my tax money going? I never see any county equipment even moving on the roads anymore; let alone working on anything. What’s going on???
And NO, I cannot take a day of from work to attend a court meeting.
