Wasting the Stimulus

I don’t have any problem with economic stimulus. But I have to wonder why this money made its way to repave over a mile of Lewis and Clark Road all the way to Tucker Creek? Yes there were a couple patches that needed to be done on the northern section where they replace some culvert pipes, but this road was good and now they are laying a new 3 or 4 inch top over a perfectly good road.

If they wanted to pave a road that really needs improvement they should have paved Youngs River Road which much of it has a concrete base that that is. Aren’t there some bridges that need some maintenance? Maybe repave some of Rt. 202. Maybe work on the train tracks along the Columbia.

I can’t imagine how much it cost to pave a mile or so of road. I know how much it costs to pave a driveway. This money could have been better spent elsewhere.
