Great upgrade and maintain roads, with EPA oversight. Which in return will turn into a large Rodeo, of eviromental coasts from the maintaining of these roads. In return will dip deep into the tax payers pockets. The coast of fixing these roads will double with the EPA oversight.
Not to many yrs. ago the upgrading and manitaining of these roads was done by the dollars from the logging, that use to go on in our State and national forest. The money did not come out of our pocket, it was covered by the timber that was being harvested. So IMO these roads where rocked, colverts installed, sediment control was put into place, Which followed State and Fedral regulation on sediment run off. (Our streams had protection). Now the timber harvest has become none existant, rock has been pushed off the roads, colverts pluged so on and so on. Now the eviro's what to fix these roads with money that comes form our pockets, when infact these roads would not need to be fixed if it was not for these same poeple that shut the logging down. IMO if they want to fix this problem it should be done with timber dollars in the way of FOREST RESTORATION. Not by forcing us to pay to fix problems they helped to create.
Don't get me wrong I think we need to protect our water, and our Fish!!!
