Why can’t we use licensed contractors?
We can, we just have to find one that will provide good, honest work for a reasonable cost. The current practice was triggered by the last licensed contractor we had that charged an enormous amount of money for very little work, and the work that was done was shoddy at best. We got screwed, plain and simple. If we cannot find a licensed contractor that will treat us fairly, the only legal option is having our own road crew. BTW, an OLCA road crew still won't be able to do paving. Paving requires a licensed paving contractor, period.
Another option is to sue the county and force them to take over our roads, and get us out of the road business completely. But few people want to hear that.
