Great Idea. I hate to think of how many "gaylord" boxes of shingles the Transfer station has had to pay to ship off the island.

It looks like the paving bids are coming out today….looks like a little under. $ 5,000,000,000 so far. For the approx 5 mile stretch for which Bud Martin proposed an alternative plan….which is to pave East Side off King’s Hyway down to Jewell Dr on East Side and pave
over-to D’onnell Morrels on the west side to access the county airport…..I think that is a great compromise!

So there's just one company biding on this? Can't the island secure more bids? Also, shouldn't the people who have stake uo there, I.E ownership and pay taxes have a say? Referendum maybe.

LIVING ON AN ISLAND ISN'T FOR EVERYONE.
