So terribly sorry your neighbor was killed. My condolences and prayers. It sounds as if you have attempted to get the local police/sheriff to increase their patrol to no avail. I suspect you are in a rural county and from what you said the commissioners have spent most of the money so more than likely the size of the police of county sheriff's dept is limited. You mentioned the state police are on the road all the time. I am sure you are a busy person, but if you are interested in trying to solve the problem I would do the following:

1. Contact your neighbors and form a coalition of support. All of you need to be involved. If possible get the survivors involved as well. One of them may be a great spokesperson to speak of the suffering that has occurred because the county is unwilling to do anything.

2. Prepare a petition citing the examples you cited and as many as you can recall. You can also go to the road dept for I am sure they keep stats on the accidents and can give you the data.

3. Have all your neighbors sign the petition. Get them to help you.

4. As a group present the petition at the next commissioner meeting. You may need to be put on their calendar so see how that is done and do it.

5. Arrange a meeting with the local sheriff or police chief (whoever has jurisdiction) and as a group present the petition to him.

6. Do the same with the local state police commander.

7. Contact your local news media and give a copy of the petition and ask for their help.

8. Contact the State Attorney General and see what help he can give.

9. Have your group get together and make some signs to post at the appropriate locations to get people's attention.

10. Make sure you document what they tell you and hold them accountable.

11. Don't give up.

12. Don't forget the ballot box. Politicians need to be held accountable

I realize that what I am suggesting will consume a great deal of time and energy, but ask yourself if it is worth it. Let the passion you have expressed in your posts drive you and your neighbors and be part of the solution. Doing nothing or thinking the other guy will do it never gets us any where. We are either part of the problem by doing nothing or part of the solution. I hope you are able to find some relief.
