Doesn't this make the situation all the more urgent?
I've reached "what's the point".
People are apparently willing to burn plenty time and money arguing about the problem, filing lawsuits, starting alternate boards, annual vehicle maintenance, spending an extra 10-20 minutes just to reach pavement, but somehow nobody can find any time nor money to sue the County who created the problem, nor is anyone interested in creating a LID that would outsource the road maintenance somewhere competent (or at least accountable).
It's also obvious that County doesn't care: we all pay fuel taxes, GET on our lawsuits and vehicle maintenance, property taxes on our "private ag lots" that become unreachable when it floods. When our elected Council members suggest substantive changes, they're quickly shut down by some special interest group -- and they even get to leverage a publicly-funded County department to make sure they're heard.
Population continues to grow, so the problem isn't going away. How bad does it have to get before enough people agree on a solution?
