having someone unlicensed and God forbid a fatal accident occurs who do you think is liable?????
These are "privately owned" roads, so it's really not clear how the contractor's license status affects liability. The fatal accident still occurs on "private" property whether due to lack of maintenance or shoddy maintenance.
(While the fatal accident would be unfortunate, the resulting lawsuit is long past due.)
if you think the county has massive cost overruns because they use contractors that are licensed
That's fair: County would manage massive cost overruns whether or not the contractors were licensed. Case in point: I've never heard of "retroactive overtime" until these recent projects.
