FWIW - I spoke to my friend today and the "hope" is that by using the stimulus money to put all the rumble strips and paint on the roads there will be money left over to care for the roads and bridge that really need the work the most. He readily admits that is a looooong shot, but we still have hope. He has not seen much of it take place so far in the planning stages. There were many counties that used very little of the stimulus money and the state took it back and is in the process of reallocating it to those areas who may be able to still utilize them before the February deadline. Yeah! More freshly painted roads and rumble strips - Woo Hoo! Now thats infrastructure for ya.
