I am a township road commissioner in Illinois and have to deal with this daily. Some points to ponder: 1-My state is BROKE!

Guess who gets to pay for all that? 4-Trucking rates are up costs more to even get gravel.We used to oil 5 miles of road a year now we can barely do 1. This year 0, all the money goes for rock.
