What is the most important issue facing the Illmo Special Road District?
The roads are in good shape except for a few which need some work. Greatest need is to make the public more aware of what the Illmo Special Road District officers are doing, where the work is going on at present and what work is planned for the future.
Chaired the committee for the city counsel surveying all the streets in Scott City and recommended a list from most needing improvement to least needing improvement. Worked construction most of my life from carpentry to roofing to masonry. Operated light machinery like backhoes and tractors from the time I could climb on a tractor. I have an AA, BA, Masters and most of the work on a Doctoral degree.
