I remember that the Denver Post and the Rocky Mt. News ran stories about recycling urine as public drinking water as a neccesity if the Two Forks Dam project did not get approved. BOO!!! :VeryScared:
Have to agree. It is called the statue of liberty play. The Fed claim they will have to close the Statue of Liberty because they are short of funds but then you see some giant new building going up for the Department of Agriculture, and what does DOA do exactly?
Personally I like that our road isn't paved. Reduces traffic and slows down what little traffic we do have.

Well by the time the South Platte reaches Confluence Park it is 100% treated waste water....And it is scary
If its purely a scare tactic, then a lot of rural counties are doing it, not just here according to the article. "Scare" could be some of it, but I would like to study the numbers and budgets. The cost of Asphalt is higher today, road construction is not cheap. I am all for watching public money expenditures. The tax money should come from the gas tax, and counties need to get a proportional share of it. I would not be against some property taxes for snow removal and maintenance (grading). Use the gas tax $ for paving/re-surfacing.
And to repeat, the article was not about paving dirt roads, it was about existing paved roads reverting to dirt/gravel. I live on a dirt road side street and its no problem when graded.
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2
Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
