I will say this, from being friends with the guys that run the graders. Try to push thru a 15 or 20 foot deep snow drift with a little bitty old fa+t Of a road grader and see how far you get. Sounds to me like someone knows what is needed.
The trustees do not work for the county here either...completely separate...budgets etc...County is responsible for all bridges and designated county roads..everything else is township controlled. We had great township officers until we got these crooks in that lied to the feds about the need for additional $$$....during the 06 floods.
And we don't get 15 or 20 foot snowdrifts here in kansas..my area anyway. Maybe 6 or 7 foot, and that is a rarity...
Nope, lived in this area for over 20 years. Past road graders were several steps down..way down. And those machines did way more work cleaning out ditches and actually shaping packed dirt into proper crowns for drainage. This township has been sucking the govt fema t*t since 06..and that is where the bucks are coming from for all the gravel and machinery that has never been used before..at the taxpayers expense. They will not maintain the road properly because of the fuel useage..imho..and that hurts all the people that have to run these roads everyday..
