The Orchidland board is not following protocol. All of the entrance roads running perpendicular to Highway 130 are supposed to be paved in an order set by the paving plan before any other paving work is done. There are roads that aren't finished and those are the neglected roads that are in terrible shape and need to be done first. It's the right and fair thing to do for the people that use those sections every day and have been waiting years. The money diverted from those paving projects have been marked for resurfacing,paving, the existing chip seal roads.
Iilima road is a classic example of how this board operates. They spent 60,000 dollars to prep the road for paving and have abandoned the final phase, asphalt, and are now planning to instead pave over the chip seal. Meanwhile the prep work will degrade from weather and will probably need more prep, and wasteful spending, to bring it up to ready again.
Wes is Only trying to do what's right. As President he was chiefly responsible for bringing in a lot of the funds needed and resigned in protest when the BOD started enacting this unfairness.

One Thing I can always be sure of is that things will never go as expected.
