Here's actually some GOOD that stimulus money might have paid for. But apparently we decided that handouts were better.

AHTD amdit they made an error? Well of course not. They can never be wrong, not with the over paid engineers that do thigs right the first time. *enter hints of sarcasm* I still want an itemized report on what is used to make a mile of highway at $1,000,000 a mile. AHTD is bilking the funds and not producing very good results. Take a look at I-530. The patch jobs there have cost us taxpayers how much? Why not fix it right the first time. The right lane is almost impassable due to the roughness of it for several miles. Wasted money, wasted jobs.

I will pray the County of Saline and the City of Benton will clean out the Saline river, this is the problem. Bentons water supply comes from the river, it has logs and other items blocking the river which causes problems when we have heavy rains which causes problems at I-30.

I truly believe there is very little rational engineering that goes into a lot of our highways.......I see hazardous conditions everywhere !!!!!

Randy Ort is just a "yes man" with the IQ of a billygoat, had to go over his head once with the highway commissioner to get what I needed. Don't believe a word he says, he will BS a Nunn if he thought it would keep his mistakes under the carpet.
